Abstract

An acquisition circuit acquires first position information indicating a position and a first image captured by a camera at the position indicated by the first position information. A memory stores second position information indicating a prescribed position on a map and feature information extracted from a second image corresponding to the prescribed position. The second position information is associated with the feature information. A processor estimates the position indicated by the first position information on the basis of the second position information in the case that the position indicated by the first position information falls within a prescribed range from the prescribed position indicated by the second position information and the first image corresponds to the feature information.
