Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus for connecting a plurality of images, comprising: an obtaining section configured to obtain information of a base image and information of a connection image that each have a plurality of pixels arranged in two axis directions perpendicular to each other and are connected to each other in a first direction out of the two axis directions, the connection image and the base image each having an overlapped region where the connection and the base images are overlapped with each other and constituting a taken image including an image part of a subject by being connected with each other with the overlapped region as a reference; a selecting section configured to determine pixels other than the image part of the subject based on a luminance variance value of a luminance signal row for each of pixel rows that are arranged in a second direction out of the two axis directions, a pixel row having a luminance variance value smaller than a predetermined value being determined as the pixels other than the image part of the subject, and from the pixels determined, select a pixel row having a smallest luminance variance value as connection pixels corresponding to a position where the base image and the connection image are connected with each other in the overlapped region; and image connection section configured to connect the base image and the connection image with the connection pixels being a boundary between the base image and connection image to generate the taken image including the image part of the subject.
