Abstract
A shape estimation apparatus estimates, based on captured images obtained by capturing an object from different directions using a plurality of image capturing apparatuses, a first element group representing a three-dimensional shape of the object, determines whether to delete elements from the first element group, and generates a second element group by deleting the elements from the first element group. With respect to a first element among elements forming a surface of the shape represented by the first element group, if a distance between the first element and a second element corresponding to a position at which a straight line connecting the first element and the image capturing apparatus that has captured the first element intersects the surface does not exceed a predetermined threshold, the first element is excluded from a deletion target.
