Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of captured images of a traveling surface where a movable apparatus travels, each of the captured images including distance information in a depth direction transverse to the traveling surface, the plurality of captured images having been captured using a plurality of stereo image capture devices, and an image processing unit configured to stitch together the plurality of images of the traveling surface captured by the plurality of stereo image capture devices by identifying partially overlapping portions of one or more pairs of the images captured by respective stereo image capture devices which are adjacent in a width direction of the traveling surface.
