Patent ID: 8600971

Claim:
An information processing apparatus comprising: a displayer configured to provide a stereoscopic display; a plurality of imagers which are provided to be flush with each other; a display controller configured to display a through image imaged by said plurality of imagers on said displayer; an index image displayer configured to display a predetermined index image being an index for imaging while being superimposed on said through image; an index image selector configured to provide a selection of said predetermined index image corresponding to a first feature of a configuration of an object to be imaged; a first reducer configured to reduce the number of a plurality of search targets which is previously contained on the basis of the first feature of the configuration of said object to be imaged corresponding to the predetermined index image selected by said index image selector when imaging processing is executed by said plurality of imagers; a judger configured to judge a size of said object to be imaged on the basis of the imaged image imaged by said plurality of imagers; a second reducer configured to further reduce the number of the plurality of search targets which has been reduced by said first reducer on the basis of a second feature of a shape of said object to be imaged which is judged based on said imaged image; a calculator configured to calculate a similarity level between said object to be imaged and each of the search targets which is reduced in number by said second reducer on the basis of the size of the object to be imaged and the feature of said imaged image; and a candidate presenter configured to present the search targets of a high similarity level calculated by said calculator as candidates.
