Abstract
An information processing device includes a disparity information input unit configured to acquire disparity image data indicating a disparity image including a disparity; a V map generating unit configured to generate a V map indicating a frequency of the disparity for each of coordinates of the disparity image by voting the disparity at a position corresponding to the coordinate of each of pixels of the disparity image based on the disparity image data; a shape estimating unit configured to estimate a road surface shape based on the V map; a height table generating unit configured to generate a height table indicating a relationship between the disparity and a height of a road surface based on the estimated road surface shape; and a correcting unit configured to correct, based on rolling information on rolling of a stereo camera that acquires the disparity, information used to generate information indicating the road surface shape so as to cancel out an influence of the rolling.
