5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further function as an identifying unit configured to identify a predetermined area in the first image, wherein
the one or more objects are included in the predetermined area.
6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the identifying unit is configured to identify the predetermined area based on the object designated in the first image by a user.
7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the identifying unit is configured to identify the predetermined area based on an attribute of the one or more objects included in the first image.
8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to determine a first display state that the one or more objects in the first image and the defect data are shifted and superposed at the first position or a second display state that the one or more objects in the first image and the defect data are superposed without shifted at the second position, as a display form when displaying the first image and the defect data.
9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the display control unit is configured to switch the first display mode and the second display mode based on a user instruction.
10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the determining unit is configured to further determine at least either transparency or blurring intensity of the defect data.
11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more objects are cracks of the structure.
12. An information processing method comprising:
obtaining a first image including one or more objects which are defects on a structure, and information related to positions in the first image of the one or more objects or ranges in the first image of the one or more objects;
causing a displaying unit to display defect data being drawing of the one or more objects based on the information, so as to be superposed on the first image at a first position according to the position or the range indicated by the information; and
determining, in the first image, a second position that is a position at which an overlap between the one or more objects in the first image and the defect data is small, in an occasion that a case where the defect data is displayed at the first position is compared with a case where the defect data is displayed at the second position,
wherein it is controlled to switch the display of the defect data at the first position to the display of the defect data at the second position.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium which stores a program for causing a computer to function as:
an obtaining unit configured to obtain a first image including one or more objects which are defects on a structure, and information related to positions in the first image of the one or more objects or ranges in the first image of the one or more objects;
a display control unit configured to cause a displaying unit to display defect data being drawing of the one or more objects based on the information, so as to be superposed on the first image at a first position according to the position or the range indicated by the information; and
a determining unit configured to determine, in the first image, a second position that is a position at which an overlap between the one or more objects in the first image and the defect data is small, in an occasion that a case where the defect data is displayed at the first position is compared with a case where the defect data is displayed at the second position,
wherein the display control unit is configured to perform control to switch the display of the defect data at the first position to the display of the defect data at the second position.
