Abstract: The position of a moving object is estimated with high accuracy using landmark information, and highly accurate state estimation is performed appropriately at high speed. A landmark detection unit obtains a distance between the moving object and each of two or more landmarks as landmark distance information based on observation data obtained by an observation obtaining unit. A candidate area obtaining unit determines a candidate area for a position of the moving object based on the landmark distance information obtained by the landmark detection unit, and obtains candidate area information indicating the determined candidate area. A state estimation unit estimates an internal state of the moving object based on the observation data, the landmark distance information, and the candidate area information to obtain moving object internal state estimation data, and estimates the environmental map based on the candidate area information and the landmark distance information to obtain environmental map data.
