1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
circuitry configured to
measure a rutting depth on a traveling surface where a movable apparatus travels based on distance information in a depth direction of the traveling surface obtained by an image capture device; and
exclude a side end of the traveling surface when measuring the rutting depth.
