Abstract
According to an embodiment, an estimation apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The processor acquires a first measurement point groups obtained by measuring a periphery of a first moving object. The processor estimates a position and posture of the first moving object. The processor classifies first measurement points serving as candidates of measurement points on a second moving object in the newest first measurement point group as candidate points. The processor acquires second moving object information from the second moving object. The processor calculates an evaluation value using a first likelihood defined according to a position relationship between an orientation of a region specified from the second moving object information and the candidate points. The processor estimates a position and posture of the second moving object based on the evaluation value.
