1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
an acquisition unit configured to acquire a distance image that indicates a distance to each object within a range of a surface;
a vector calculation unit configured to calculate, for each direction pointed by a target object, a first vector that extends from the target object within the range of the surface based on the acquired distance image;
an intersection calculation unit configured to calculate a position of each intersection of a plurality of intersections of the surface and the first vector for the each direction pointed by the target object; and
a processing execution unit configured to:
calculate a first position of a specific representative point of a plurality of representative points from a first intersection of the plurality of intersections calculated before a specific time to a second intersection of the plurality of intersections calculated immediately before, wherein the first intersection is centred on the second intersection.
