1. An information processing apparatus mounted on a vehicle, the information processing apparatus comprising:
a processor, wherein the processor includes
an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image of a driver sitting in a driver's seat;
a position detection unit configured to detect a position of a landmark on a face of the driver from the image;
a crown estimation unit configured to estimate a position of a crown of the driver on the basis of the position of the landmark; and
a sitting height estimation unit configured to estimate a sitting height of the driver on the basis of an estimation result obtained by the crown estimation unit,
wherein the position detection unit detects a position of a chin bottom of the face of the driver from the image, and
the crown estimation unit estimates the position of the crown on the basis of a ratio between a distance between the position of the landmark and the position of the chin bottom and a distance between the position of the landmark and the position of the crown of the driver.
