An apparatus and method which takes into consideration the real world
where data was acquired, and enables obtaining of processing results
which are more accurate and more precise as to phenomena in the real
world. A data continuity detecting unit detects the continuity of data of
second signals, having second dimensions that are fewer than first
dimensions had by first signals which are real world signals and are
projected whereby a part of the continuity of the real world signals is
lost, wherein the continuity to be detected corresponds to the continuity
of the real world signals that has been lost. An actual world estimating
unit estimates a real world image by estimating the continuity of the
real world image that has been lost, based on the continuity of the data
detected by the data continuity detecting unit.
