Abstract
To provide an information processing apparatus and the like that are capable of dividing an image indicating movement of a subject into a chest region and an abdominal region along anatomical knowledge. The information processing apparatus inputs time-series distance image data acquired by measuring a distance from a subject during a breathing exercise. The apparatus calculates a standard deviation image indicating a standard deviation of values for each pixel in a distance image indicated by the time-series distance image data. The apparatus executes division processing of dividing the standard deviation image into the chest region and the abdominal region of the subject by using a differential value in a direction of an intersection line between a sagittal plane and a frontal plane of the subject with respect to the standard deviation image. The apparatus outputs a result of the division processing by superimposing the result on the standard deviation image.
