1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

  • a displayer configured to provide a stereoscopic display;

    a plurality of imagers which are provided to be flush with each other;

    a judger configured to judge a size of an object based upon images of the object obtained by at least two of said plurality of imagers, wherein the judger includes a distance calculator, configured to detect a parallax between two images obtained from at least two imagers of the plurality of imagers and to calculate a distance to the object based upon parallax and a set distance between the two imagers, and a size calculator which calculates the size of the object based upon a calculated distance to the object and an angle of view of the imagers;

    a reducer configured to reduce the number of a plurality of search targets which are previously contained by the processing apparatus, wherein reducing the number of search targets is based upon a shape of said object in said images;

    a calculator configured to calculate a similarity level between said object and each of the search targets which are reduced in number by said reducer, the similarity level being calculated based upon a size of the object and a particular characteristic feature of said images;

    a selector configured to allow a selection of a predetermined condition as to said object;

    a deleter configured to eliminate as candidates said search targets which do not match the predetermined condition;

    a candidate presenter configured to determine search targets having a high calculated similarity level as candidates for presentation; and

    an information presenter configured to present search target information via the displayer including a stereoscopic image corresponding to a search target selected from determined search targets which are not eliminated as candidates.
