## Abstract

According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire a first observation signal from a radar device with a plurality of antennas configured to transmit a radar signal and to receive a radar echo based on a reflected wave of the radar signal, generate a first radar image by executing a signal process based on a predetermined first condition, and generate a second radar image by executing a signal process based on a second condition. The first and second radar images are used as training data for a learning model to detect an object to which the radar signal is transmitted.
