Information processing apparatus, information processing method, program, and sensing apparatus

An information processing method of an information processing apparatus, the information processing method comprising operations, executed by the information processing apparatus, including:

• applying a calculation algorism in accordance with a transient model presenting functions that a living body to be measured has as an equivalent electric circuit, to measurement data of a transient response obtained from the living body and thereby calculating an unknown parameter of parameters relating to the transient model,
• wherein
• the living body includes a plant,
• the transient model includes a model that represents an electron transfer system of a photochemical reaction in photosynthesis of the plant,
• the calculation algorism includes an algorism to calculate a quantum yield of the photosynthesis from a transient response of chlorophyll fluorescence of the plant, using the transient model, and
• the measurement data includes measurement data of the transient response of the chlorophyll fluorescence of the plant;
• and
• calculating the quantum yield of the photosynthesis of the plant as the unknown parameter by applying the calculation algorism to the measurement data as an input.
