Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes: at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: generate a virtual camera image shot by a virtual camera in a specific location and orientation in a three-dimensional space on the basis of point cloud data of the three-dimensional space; and estimate, on the basis of the virtual camera image, a camera image shot by a camera, and the point cloud data, a location of the camera when it shot the camera image from a location in the same space as the specific location in the three-dimensional space.
