Abstract
According to one embodiment, a three-dimensional map estimation apparatus includes a processor that selects an imaging apparatus from a plurality of imaging apparatuses and then estimates a position and orientation for a moving object on which the selected imaging apparatus is mounted based on images captured by the selected imaging apparatus. The processor outputs a first position and orientation estimation result for the moving object based on images from selected imaging apparatuses. The processor calculates a second position and orientation estimation result indicating an estimated position and orientation for the moving object using the first position and orientation estimation result. The processor estimates a three-dimensional map for the surroundings of the moving object based on the second position and orientation estimation result.
