An information processing apparatus includes a generation section, a selection section, a matching processing section, and a calculation section. The generation section generates source image blocks obtained by dividing a connection area of a source image into areas, and template image blocks obtained by dividing a connection area of a template image into areas, the connection area of the template image being superimposed on the connection area of the source image. The selection section selects target image blocks as targets individually subjected to matching processing, based on luminance information of each template image block. The matching processing section calculates relative position information of corresponding image blocks as images corresponding to the target image blocks and the target image blocks. The calculation section calculates relative position shift information of the connection area of the source image and that of the template image based on the relative position information.
