Abstract
A position identifying apparatus includes a position detecting unit; an information acquiring unit; a feature extracting unit; an index value calculating unit; a feature selecting unit; a correlating unit; a weight setting unit; and a correcting unit. The position detecting unit performs a map matching to detect a vehicle position on a map. The information acquiring unit acquires road information from the map. The feature extracting unit extracts features of a ground object. The index value calculating unit calculates an index value representing a likelihood of a stationary object. The feature selecting unit selects feature candidates among the features having the index values larger than or equal to a predetermined likelihood of the stationary object. The correlating unit correlates the feature candidates with the road information. The weight setting unit sets weights of the feature candidates. The correcting unit corrects the position of the vehicle using the weights.
