Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a captured image acquisition unit that acquires an image captured by imaging a device including plural markers. A marker image coordinate specification unit specifies a representative coordinate of each marker image from the captured image, and a position and posture derivation unit derives position information and posture information of the device using the representative coordinates of the marker images. The marker image coordinate specification unit specifies a first boundary box surrounding a region within which pixels having a first luminance or more continuously appear, specifies a second boundary box surrounding a region within which pixels having a second luminance or more continuously appear in the first boundary box, the second luminance being higher than the first luminance, and derives a representative coordinate of each marker image based on pixels in the first or second boundary box in response to the number of specified second boundary boxes.
