Abstract
Annotation can be easily performed on a three-dimensional point cloud and a working time can be reduced. An interface unitdisplays a point cloud indicating a three-dimensional point on an object, and receives designation of a three-dimensional point indicating an annotation target object and designation of a three-dimensional point not indicating the annotation target object. A candidate cluster calculation unitcalculates a value of a predetermined evaluation function indicating a likelihood of a point cloud cluster being the annotation target object based on the designation of a three-dimensional point for point cloud clusters obtained by clustering the point clouds. A cluster selection and storage designation unitcauses the interface unitto display the point cloud clusters in descending order of the value of the evaluation function, and receives a selection of a point cloud cluster to be annotated. An annotation execution unitexecutes annotation indicating the annotation target object for each three-dimensional point included in the selected point cloud cluster.
