Abstract
A three-dimensional image captured by imaging a subject using a first imaging device is acquired. A two-dimensional image captured by imaging a surface of the subject using a second imaging device is acquired. Information representing the surface position of the subject is acquired from the three-dimensional image. A projection image in a case where seeing the three-dimensional image from the viewpoint of the second imaging device is generated based on the information representing the surface position. The three-dimensional image is aligned with the two-dimensional image with respect to the subject using the projection image and the two-dimensional image.
