Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method that enable enhancement of the accuracy in the recognition of locations of a moving body. The information processing apparatus is arranged on a moving body and includes an own-location recognition block configured to recognize, on the basis of an image taken from the moving body, a first own location that is an absolute location of the moving body; a moving body recognition block configured to recognize a relative location relative to the moving body of another moving body in the image taken from the moving body; a communication block configured to execute communication with the another moving body so as to obtain the absolute location of the another moving body; and an own location computation block configured to compute, on the basis of the absolute location of the another moving body and the relative location of the another moving body, a second own location that is an absolute location of the moving body. The present technology is applicable to systems for recognizing vehicle locations, for example.
