Abstract:
Provided is a position estimation device capable of highly accurate position estimation. A position estimation device 1 of the present invention is the position estimation device 1 which estimates a current position of a moving object 100 equipped with an imaging device 12, estimates the current position of the moving object 100, create a plurality of virtual positions based on the current position, creates virtual images at the plurality of virtual positions, respectively, compares the plurality of virtual images with an actual image to calculate a comparison error, calculates a weight based on at least one of information acquired by the imaging device 12 and information of a current position error of the moving object, performs weighting on the comparison error using the weight, and corrects the current position based on the comparison error to be weighted.
