1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
an image acquisition section configured to acquire image information that includes image data associated with position information, wherein the position information is information regarding a position at which the image data is acquired;
an image use determination section configured to:
verify whether the image information is to be approved as a transaction;
determine whether the image information approved as the transaction is to be used to generate a three-dimensional model; and
determine, based on a degree of similarity of use-determination-target image data to the image data used for the generation of the three-dimensional model, whether the use-determination-target image data is to be used as the image information to generate the three-dimensional model;
a three-dimensional model generator configured to generate the three-dimensional model using the image information approved as the transaction; and
a block generator configured to generate a new block that is to be coupled to a blockchain, wherein each block in the blockchain records therein the image information used to generate the three-dimensional model.
