Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a first selection unit that selects a second image to be compared with a first image from a plurality of candidate images, a setting unit, an overlap range calculation unit, an evaluation value calculation unit, and a second selection unit. The setting unit sets a plurality of combinations including two or more candidate images from among the plurality of candidate images. The overlap range calculation unit calculates an overlap range between the first image and each of the plurality of combinations. The evaluation value calculation unit calculates an evaluation value of each of the plurality of combinations based on the calculated overlap range. The second selection unit selects at least one combination from the plurality of combinations based on the evaluation value. The first selection unit selects the two or more candidate images included in the selected combination as the second image.
