Abstract
An information processing apparatus calculates an accurate index for the growth state of a plant without increasing a user load. The apparatus includes a receiver that receives an input of a captured image obtained by capturing an image of a plant cultivation area including a rectangular area in a longitudinal direction of the rectangular area, a conversion factor calculator that calculates conversion factors at positions in a depth direction in the captured image by determining a pixel count in a width direction of the rectangular area in the captured image input into the receiver at each position in the depth direction and dividing an actual width of the rectangular area by the determined pixel count, and an index calculator that calculates an index for a growth state of the plant by analyzing the captured image using the conversion factors at the positions calculated by the conversion factor calculator.
