Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program with which highly accurate depth information can be acquired. The information processing apparatus includes an interpolation image generation unit, a difference image generation unit, and a depth calculation unit. The interpolation image generation unit generates an interpolation image on the basis of a first normal image and a second normal image among the first normal image, a pattern image irradiated with infrared pattern light, and the second normal image, the interpolation image corresponding to a time at which the pattern image is captured. The difference image generation unit generates a difference image between the interpolation image and the pattern image. The depth calculation unit calculates depth information by using the difference image.
