Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a first calculation unit that calculates a first calculated position and orientation of a target object based on first measurement data obtained from a first sensor in a first position and orientation; a second calculation unit that calculates a second calculated position and orientation of the target object based on second measurement data obtained from a second sensor, different from the first sensor, in a second position and orientation different from the first position and orientation; a determination unit that determines whether the first calculated position and orientation calculated by said first calculation unit and the second calculated position and orientation calculated by said second calculation unit match; an output unit that outputs, if said determination unit determines that the first calculated position and orientation and the second calculated position and orientation match, a position and orientation of the target object based on at least one of the first calculated position and orientation and the second calculated position and orientation; and a controlling unit that controls the second sensor to move, if said determination unit determines that the first calculated position and orientation and the second calculated position and orientation do not match, to a third position and orientation different from the first position and orientation and the second position and orientation.
