Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus and method and a program which enable more accurate estimation of a pose. A matching unit performs matching processing on the basis of a detection result of a feature point from an input image and a three-dimensional map indicating a position of a landmark in real space, and a pose estimating unit estimates a pose on the basis of a result of the matching processing. A three-dimensional map updating unit updates the three-dimensional map on the basis of a three-dimensional shape model indicating a position and a shape of a recognition target, a detection result of the feature point from the input image and an estimation result of the pose so that only a portion of the recognition target is registered as the landmark. The present technology can be applied to a wearable information terminal apparatus.
