Abstract
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method and a program that make it possible to determine a distance to an object with high accuracy. A likelihood calculation unit calculates, from information obtained by each of a plurality of distance measurement methods, distance likelihoods with regard to which the distance to an object is each of a plurality of distances. An integration unit integrates the distance likelihoods according to the plurality of distance measurement methods to determine integration likelihoods each of the plurality of distances. The present technology can be applied, for example, to a case in which a distance to an obstacle is determined and a driver who drives an automobile or the like is supported using the distance or to a like case.
