Abstract
A posture angle calculation apparatusincludes an acquisition unitconfigured to acquire an output of an acceleration sensorinstalled to output acceleration of a moving apparatus that moves along a moving surface in a vertical axis direction with respect to the moving surface and to acquire an output of a gyro sensorinstalled to output an angular velocity about the vertical axis. The posture angle calculation apparatusfurther includes a calculation unitconfigured to assume, when the acceleration is larger than reference acceleration Rg, and the angular velocity is smaller than a preset reference angular velocity Rw, the angular velocity ωis zero and calculate a posture angle of the moving apparatus about the vertical axis. The posture angle calculation apparatusfurther includes an output unitconfigured to output data of the calculated posture angle.
