Abstract
Provided is a self-position estimation apparatus capable of appropriately estimating a self-position of a mobile object regardless of an environment around the mobile object. The self-position estimation apparatus is for estimating a self-position of a mobile object, and includes: N types of sensors (where N is a natural number equal to or greater than two) that detect information with different contents from each other regarding a moving status of the mobile object; an environment determiner that determines an environment around the mobile object; a selector that selects information detected by one or more but less than the N types of sensors based on a determination result of the environment determiner; and an estimator that estimates the self-position of the mobile object based on the information selected by the selector.
