Abstract
Provided are a mapping apparatus, a tracker, a mapping method, and a program that can accurately map a given geographic position on an environmental map. An environmental map data storing unit () stores environmental map data indicating an environmental map in which a position expressed by a Euclidean coordinate system is associated with a position expressed by a geographic coordinate system. A SLAM processing executing unit () estimates, on the basis of sensing data acquired by a tracker and the environmental map data, a position of the tracker () expressed by the Euclidean coordinate system. A target position data acquiring unit () acquires target position data indicating a target position expressed by the geographic coordinate system. A coordinate converting unit () identifies the target position expressed by the Euclidean coordinate system based on the target position data and the environmental map data.
