Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

Abstract

The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program for suppressing the occurrence of false recognition. A road surface region estimating section estimates a road surface region in a first image captured of a predetermined imaging range. A non-polarized region extracting section extracts a non-polarized region from a second image captured of the imaging range. A low-confidence level region estimating section estimates a low-confidence level region for an object with a low first confidence level obtained by a first sensor within a measurement range of the first sensor in the imaging range on the basis of information indicating the road surface region and the non-polarized region. A weight calculating section calculates a weight on the first confidence level on the basis of the first confidence level, a second confidence level of the object obtained by a second sensor in the imaging range, and information indicating the low-confidence level region. A presence likelihood calculating section calculates presence likelihood of the object at different distances within the imaging range on the basis of the first confidence level, the second confidence level, and information indicating the weight. The present technology is applicable to a vehicle-mounted distance estimating apparatus.
