Abstract

A self-position estimation device is mounted on a mobile body and acquires a predicted position of the mobile body. Additionally, the self-position estimation device calculates a difference value between a predicted position of an end point of a lane division line that is obtained based on information on the end point of the lane division line acquired from map information and a measured position of the end point of the lane division line measured in such a manner that a measurement unit mounted on the mobile body performs scanning with a light in a predetermined direction. The self-position estimation device estimates a self-position of the mobile body by correcting the predicted position with a value obtained by multiplying the difference value by a coefficient.

Abstract

When designating a section from within the movement trajectory of an object displayed on a map, the present invention, while enabling fine adjustment of the section, reduces the time and effort for this adjustment and improves usability. Items representing the position of an object at each instance of a first time interval are displayed on a map as the trajectory of the object, and one of the items is set as a first selection point. A plurality of items representing the position of the object at each time that is separated, in units of a second time interval longer than the first time interval, from the time pertaining to the set first selection point are extracted and displayed as candidates for a second selection point. After having set the first selection point, a first selection point setting unit accepts, in units of the first time interval, a correction of the first selection point to other items. A second selection point candidate display unit re-extracts, as candidates for a second selection point, a plurality of items representing the position at each time that is separated in units of the second time interval from the time pertaining to a new first selection point.
