Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing method, comprising:

• performing objection recognition processing that includes recognizing an object situated ahead of a vehicle using a plurality of recognition methods, and outputting results of the object recognitions respectively performed using the plurality of recognition methods;
• and
• performing collision determination processing that includes selecting the result of the object recognition depending on an environment around the vehicle from the results of the object recognitions respectively performed using the plurality of recognition methods, and determining whether there is a possibility of colliding with the object, on a basis of the selected result of the object recognition.

A program that causes a computer to operate as an objection recognition section and a collision determination section,

• the objection recognition section recognizing an object situated ahead of a vehicle using a plurality of recognition methods, the objection recognition section outputting results of the object recognitions respectively performed using the plurality of recognition methods,
• the collision determination section selecting the result of the object recognition depending on an environment around the vehicle from the results of the object recognitions respectively performed using the plurality of recognition methods, the collision determination section determining whether there is a possibility of colliding with the object, on a basis of the selected result of the object recognition.
