Abstract
An estimation apparatus is configured to obtain shape information containing information about multiple line segments that depict a shape of an object; detect multiple feature lines in an image of the object captured by an imaging apparatus; receive a first instruction for associating a feature line selected from the multiple feature lines with a line segment selected from the multiple line segments and a second instruction for associating two points selected in the image with two end points selected from end points of the multiple line segments; generate a first line segment connecting the two points and a second line segment connecting the two end points; and estimate a position and orientation of the imaging apparatus in three-dimensional space by using a combination of the selected feature line and the selected line segment and a combination of the first line segment and the second line segment.
