Abstract
An identification unit obtains a plurality of photographic images including two or more markers. The makers are placed on a different object, respectively. The identification unit identifies, from the plurality of photographic images thus obtained, three-dimensional positions of the two or more markers. A generating unit transforms coordinate system of the plurality of photographic images into a common coordinate system. Relative positions of the two or more markers based on a specific location are indicated in the common coordinate system. The generating unit generates map data which associates the positions of the two or more markers.
