1. A position and orientation measuring method, comprising the steps of:

  • inputting a measured inclination value of an inclination sensor mounted to at least one of an object and an image capturing device;

    inputting a captured image from the image capturing device;

    detecting an index on the object from the captured image; and

    calculating a position and an orientation of one of the object and the image capturing device to which the inclination sensor is mounted on the basis of the measured inclination value, an image coordinate of the detected index, and known positional information on the detected index without performing an iterative calculation of correction values of position and orientation.
