Abstract: In an object tracking apparatus, a first acquiring unit acquires first information including first position information indicating a position of a first object detected by a first external sensor that monitors a first area and first identification information for identifying the first object. A second acquiring unit acquires second information including second position information indicating a position of a second object detected by a second external sensor that monitors a second area and second identification information for identifying the second object. An integrating unit integrates the first information and the second information by recording the second identification information of the second information in the first information and deleting the second information, in response to determining that the first object and the second object that are simultaneously detected in an overlapping area in which the first area and the second area overlap each other are the same object.

Abstract: A vehicle position identification device or a vehicle position identification method for a vehicle acquires first landmark position information including a landmark distance with respect to a subject vehicle, acquires second landmark position information including a landmark elevation angle, estimates a landmark position, acquires map data including a landmark position on a map, and identify a vehicle position on the map.

Abstract: In a target identification device, an acquisition unit is configured to acquire trajectory information including information on a movement trajectory of a moving object in the surroundings of a vehicle. A calculation unit is configured to calculate a likelihood for each type of moving object from the trajectory information by using a plurality of models predefined for each type of moving object. A target identification unit is configured to identify the type of the moving object according to the likelihood calculated by the calculation unit.
