Abstract
An image acquisition unit () acquires an image of an area around a mobile object as image data (). A point cloud acquisition unit () acquires depth point cloud data () representing a depth, which is a distance to an object existing in the area around the mobile object, by a point cloud. A generation unit () calculates a depth to a position represented by a pixel included in the image data (), using the image data () and the depth point cloud data (), and generates high-resolution point cloud data () in which the calculated depth is added to the pixel included in the image data (). An estimation unit () estimates a movement amount of the mobile object, using the high-resolution point cloud data ().
