Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a first self-position estimating section configured to estimate a self-position of a moving body using a visible image, a second self-position estimating section configured to estimate the self-position of the moving body using an infrared image, and a combining section configured to set, based on a situation in which the moving body is placed, a first weight for a first estimation result obtained by self-position estimation using the visible image and a second weight for a second estimation result obtained by self-position estimation using the infrared image, to thereby combine the first estimation result and the second estimation result using the first weight and the second weight. The present technology is applicable to moving bodies, for example, vehicles.
