Abstract
A method estimates the distance of a flat part while maintaining the precision needed for estimating the distance in detail. Distance information is estimated by estimating each piece of distance information of an image represented by image data, and distance information represented by resolution-converted image data, and combining the distance information of the image and the distance information of the resolution-converted image.
