Abstract: A non-limiting example information processing apparatus includes a processor, and an infrared LED and an imaging device are connected to the processor. The processor controls on/off of the infrared LED, and an image sensor images infrared images according to switching timings thereof. An image processing circuit estimates an influence (situation) of noise such as sunlight etc. based on respective infrared images at times when the infrared LED is turned on and off, and determines at least advisability of use of the imaging device (infrared sensor). A determination result about the advisability of use is applied to the processor from the image processing circuit, and when it cannot be used, a message to that effect is displayed on an LCD.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing system including at least a reflection member, and an information processing apparatus capable of image processing. The reflection member is a retroreflecting material. The information processing apparatus includes an imaging section that captures an image, a first light emitting section, a second light emitting section, and a light source detecting section. The first light emitting section and the second light emitting section each emit light. At least one of a half-power angle and an entrance angle of the second light emitting section is different from that of the first light emitting section. The light source detecting section detects, in the image captured by the imaging section, a light source image including an image of the retroreflecting material. The image of the retroreflecting material indicates light that has been emitted from the first light emitting section and/or the second light emitting section and reflected by the retroreflecting material.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing system including a reflection member, a hand-held information processing apparatus including an imaging section, and an information processing apparatus communicable with the hand-held information processing apparatus. The reflection member is a retroreflecting material. The hand-held information processing apparatus includes the imaging section and a light emitting section. The hand-held information processing apparatus analyzes a captured image, calculates the position of an image of the retroreflecting material corresponding to reflected light from the retroreflecting material, and outputs positional information thereof. The information processing apparatus estimates the orientation or position of the hand-held information processing apparatus on the basis of the positional information, and generates an image based on the result of the estimation.
