Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus for extracting a shape of an object representing a predetermined body portion of a user body from a captured image acquired by capturing the user, comprising: irradiating means for irradiating light having a first wavelength and light having a second wavelength different from the first wavelength onto the user; acquiring means for acquiring a first image acquired by receiving reflected light of light having the first wavelength emitted irradiated onto the user, and a second image acquired by receiving reflected light of light having the second wavelength emitted irradiated onto the user; skin area extracting means for extracting a skin area representing skin of the user based on the first image and the second image; and shape area extracting means for extracting a shape area representing a shape of the object on the skin area, wherein, the shape area extracting means extracts the shape area based on a luminance value distribution of pixels constituting an area corresponding to the skin area on a displayed image displaying the object, and a body part of the user corresponding to an area excluding the shape area on the skin area.
