1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
circuitry configured to
perform image recognition processing with respect to an image photographed by a camera and calculate, for each recognized area being an area based on a recognition result of an object, a reliability of the recognition result, wherein the image comprises an infrared image and a visible image;
control an irradiation pattern of visible light in a photographing direction of the camera so that the reliability with respect to at least a part of the recognized areas increases; and
control the irradiation pattern based on the reliability of the image recognition processing performed with respect to the infrared image.
