Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a correlation unit that correlates distance information indicating a distance to an emission position of electromagnetic waves emitted in a shooting direction of a plurality of image pickup units with a first pixel in a first image that constitutes images taken by the image pickup units, the distance information being obtained based on reflected waves of the electromagnetic waves and the first pixel corresponding to the emission position of the electromagnetic waves, and a generation unit that generates a parallax image by using the distance information correlated with the first pixel for parallax computation of pixels in a second image that constitutes the images.
