1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
an acquisition section configured to acquire an image captured by a predetermined imaging section, and position information based on at least any of a position and a direction of the imaging section;
an estimation section configured to estimate a first position and a second position in a real space, on a basis of a first image and a second image which are the image captured at each of a first viewpoint and a second viewpoint, and first position information and second position information which are the position information about each of the first viewpoint and the second viewpoint, wherein the first viewpoint and the second viewpoint are associated with at least one of different respective orientations of the imaging section or different respective positions of the imaging section, and the different respective orientations of the imaging section or the different respective positions of the imaging section are obtained based on a movement of the imaging section between the different respective orientations or the different respective positions; and
a measurement section configured to measure a distance between the first position and the second position on a basis of a result of the estimation,
wherein the acquisition section, the imaging section, the estimation section, and the measurement section are each implemented via at least one processor.
