1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
calculate first detection data from a macro measurement sensor configured to perform sensing at a first spatial resolution for a first measurement range for a measurement target, wherein
the macro measurement sensor includes at least one of a visible-light image sensor, a stereo camera, a sensor for laser image detection and ranging, a polarization sensor, or a time of flight (ToF) sensor;
calculate second detection data from a micro measurement sensor configured to perform sensing at a second spatial resolution for a second measurement range, wherein
the second spatial resolution is higher than the first spatial resolution,
the second measurement range is included in the first measurement range for the measurement target, and
the micro measurement sensor includes at least one of a multi spectrum camera, a hyper spectrum camera, a Fourier transform infrared spectroscope, or an infrared sensor;
acquire a first model parameter associated with an inverse model calculation, wherein
the acquisition of the first model parameter is based on the second detection data that is calculated from the micro measurement sensor, and
the first model parameter includes at least one of a three-dimensional structure of plants, a height of the plants, an average leaf angle, a plant coverage, an LAI, a chlorophyll concentration, spectral characteristics of soil, or a sun leaf ratio;
configure an inverse model based on the first model parameter as a parameter for the inverse model;
apply the configured inverse model on the first detection data that is calculated from the macro measurement sensor; and
determine a calculation result of the inverse model calculation based on the application of the configured inverse model on the first detection data.
