Abstract
Provided is a computer system for estimating an absolute position of a photographed object by just photographing the object with a camera, a position estimation method, and a program. The computer system acquires an image obtained by photographing an object, acquires three-dimensional position data of a camera which photographed the object, and estimates an absolute position of the object on the basis of the three-dimensional position data of the camera. Further, the computer system enables the camera to be tilted a specified angle in a direction of the object, and estimates the absolute position of the object on the basis of the three-dimensional position data of the camera and the tilted specified angle. Moreover, the computer system stores the position of the object and an altitude at the position in association with each other, and estimates an altitude associated with the estimated position of the object.
