Abstract
An information processing method for obtaining placement information of a first position and orientation sensor attached to an object with respect to the object includes an image input step of inputting an image of the object captured by an image capturing device, and a sensor measurement value input step of inputting a first measurement value of the first position and orientation sensor and a second measurement value of a second position and orientation sensor attached to the image capturing device. An index detecting step detects information about image coordinates of an index attached to the object from the image, and a placement information calculating step calculates the placement information by using the first and second measurement values of the first and second position and orientation sensors and the information about the image coordinates of the index.
