Abstract: A processor detects feature lines from an image of an object and generates projection lines by projecting line segments in shape information of the object on the image. The processor generates combinations each including a feature line and a projection line and generates plural sets each including a specific number of combinations. The processor uses each set to estimate a position and an orientation of an imaging device that has captured the image, and evaluates a result of the estimation for each set. When there is a change in a relative position or orientation between the object on the image and a shape represented by the shape information, the processor repeats generation of the plural sets, estimation of the position and the orientation of the imaging device and evaluation of the estimation result. The processor determines the position and the orientation of the imaging device based on the repeated evaluation.
