Abstract
A position measuring apparatus includes an imaging device and a controller, and is mounted on one or more mobile objects and configured to measure a position of a target. The imaging device is configured to acquire images of the target from a plurality of locations that are different from each other. The controller is configured to measure, on the basis of the images of the target, one or both of orientations of the target as viewed from the respective locations and distances to the target from the respective locations, correct one of the measured orientations of the target and the measured distances to the target to thereby reduce a difference between times at which the respective images are acquired at the respective locations, and calculate an estimated position of the target, on a basis of one of the corrected orientations of the target and the corrected distances to the target.
