Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a depth image acquisition unit configured to acquire a depth image from a measurement apparatus that has measured a distance to an object, an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a captured image from an image capturing apparatus that has captured an image of the object, and an estimation unit configured to estimate a shape of the object based on the depth image and the captured image. The estimation unit acquires information about a contour of the object from the captured image, corrects the information about the contour based on the depth image, and estimates the shape of the object based on the corrected information about the contour.
