Abstract
To provide an information processing apparatus and a program, which are capable of accurately estimating the distance from a monocular camera to an object. The information processing apparatus acquires an image captured by one monocular camera, determines an object area in the image, divides the object area based on variation in a predetermined direction at an end portion in the predetermined direction of the determined object area, and estimates a distance from the monocular camera to an object corresponding to at least one partial object area resulting from the division of the object area.
