Abstract
An estimation apparatus includes a distance estimator. The distance estimator performs regression analysis using, as samples, an observation of distance and an observation at each time within a predetermined period obtained by an observer. The estimation apparatus estimates that a value of the distance upon a value of a displacement calculated in accordance with a regression equation based on the regression analysis being zero shows a value of the distance to the forward object at a start time.
