1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
(A) one or more circuits, or
(B) at least one processor and at least one memory, or
(C) at least one processor, at least one memory, and one or more circuits,
wherein the (A) one or more circuits, (B) at least one processor and at least one memory, or (C) at least one processor, at least one memory, and one more circuits is configured to function as a plurality of units comprising:
(1) a first acquiring unit configured to acquire first distance image information comprising distance as a pixel value using a distance sensor;
(2) a second acquiring unit configured to acquire an image captured by an image capturing device;
(3) an estimating unit configured to estimate second distance image information comprising distance as a pixel value from the image acquired by the second acquiring unit using a learning model which has been generated so as to output distance image information corresponding to an input image; and
(4) a calculation unit configured to calculate third distance image information comprising distance as a pixel value in accordance with (a) the first distance image information and (b) the second distance image information.
