Abstract
A moving object acquires three-dimensional point cloud data in surroundings of the moving object; and generates a grid map based on the three-dimensional point cloud data, the moving object maps point clouds of the three-dimensional point cloud data to a grid on a horizontal plane parallel to a road surface on which the moving object travels and generates the grid map in which each grid indicates whether a three-dimensional object having a predetermined height or a step exists. The moving object determines, for each grid of the grid map, whether the three-dimensional object exists based on a point density when a point cloud corresponding to each grid of the three-dimensional point cloud data is projected on the horizontal plane.
