Abstract: An information processing device obtains point group data of a photographic subject and obtains a three-dimensional model corresponding to the photographic subject. The information processing device performs first-type processing, second-type processing, and third-type processing in which the respective initial value sets are different. Based on the likelihood of the result of the first-type processing, the likelihood of the result of the second-type processing, and the likelihood of the result of the third-type processing; the information processing device evaluates the result of the first-type processing, the result of the second-type processing, and the result of the third-type processing. Based on the evaluation results, the information processing device outputs either the result of the first-type processing, or the result of the second-type processing, or the result of the third-type processing as the skeletal frame recognition result of the photographic subject.
