INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The present invention is directed to making it possible to reduce a possibility of image stitching failures. An information processing apparatus includes a feature extraction unit configured to extract feature points from each of a plurality of images of an object to be inspected captured from a plurality of viewpoints, an image quality evaluation unit configured to, for each of the plurality of images, evaluate whether an image quality based on a predetermined index satisfies allowable conditions for inspection works of the object, and an image stitching unit configured to stitch at least a part of the images, among the plurality of images, having the image quality that satisfies the allowable conditions according to a positional relation based on the feature points.
