Abstract

A position estimating apparatus includes a memory that stores a reference image, an interface circuit configured to communicate with a movable apparatus, and a processor. The processor is configured to, upon receipt of at least one image captured by the movable apparatus via the interface circuit, calculate an evaluation value for each of a plurality of regions of the image, and determine a current position of the movable apparatus by comparing the regions of the captured image where the calculated evaluation value exceeds a first threshold with the reference image.
