Information processing apparatus, control method for same, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and vehicle driving support system

A control method for an information processing apparatus comprising a holding unit which holds a learning model for estimating distance information from images, the control method comprising:

• acquiring first distance image information comprising distance as a pixel value using a distance sensor;
• acquiring an image captured by an image capturing device;
• estimating second distance image information comprising distance as a pixel value from the acquired image using a learning model which has been generated so as to output distance image information corresponding to an input image;
• and
• calculating third distance image information comprising distance as a pixel value in accordance with (a) the first distance image information and (b) the second distance image information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program which causes, when read and executed by a computer, the computer to execute a control method for an information processing apparatus comprising a holding unit which holds a learning model for estimating distance information from images, the control method comprising:

• acquiring first distance image information comprising distance as a pixel value using a distance sensor;
• acquiring an image captured by an image capturing device;
• estimating second distance image information comprising distance as a pixel value from the acquired image using a learning model which has been generated so as to output distance image information corresponding to an input image;
• and
• calculating third distance image information comprising distance as a pixel value in accordance with (a) the first distance image information and (b) the second distance image information.
