Abstract
An own position estimation device detects a landmark position of a landmark existing around a mobile body, detects a movement amount of the mobile body, and accumulates, as pieces of landmark position data, landmark positions each obtained by moving the detected landmark position by the movement amount. The device then acquires map information including landmark positions of landmarks existing on a map by the controller, matches the pieces of landmark position data in a certain range with the landmark positions included in the map information, and estimates the own position of the mobile body, the certain range being set based on movement records of the mobile body traveling to a current position.
