Abstract
A vehicle orientation estimation system includes a region setting unit. The region setting unit can set a first region and a second region that is on a same horizontal line as the first region, in a measurement region corresponding to a road surface acquired by a distance measurement device mounted on a vehicle. The vehicle orientation estimation system can include a distance calculation unit that calculates a distance to the road surface of each of the first region and the second region from the vehicle. The vehicle orientation estimation system can also include an inclination angle calculation unit that obtains an inclination angle of the vehicle based on the distance to the road surface of each of the first region and the second region and a positional relationship of the first region and the second region.
