Abstract
A camera movement amount acquisition unit () acquires as a camera movement amount (), an estimated movement amount of a vehicle () calculated using photographed image data acquired by, a camera () installed on the vehicle (). In synchronization with the acquisition of the camera movement amount () by the camera movement amount acquisition unit (), a LiDAR movement amount acquisition unit () acquires as a LiDAR movement amount (), an estimated movement amount of the vehicle () with higher estimation accuracy than estimation accuracy of the camera movement amount (). A comparison decision unit () compares the camera movement amount () with the LiDAR movement amount (), and decides to use the camera movement amount () for a calibration operation when a difference between the camera movement amount () and the LiDAR movement amount () is less than a threshold value.
