The present invention provides a positioning apparatus which enables output of accurate position information related to a mobile object. The positioning apparatus, which is mounted in a mobile object, stores therein, in a mutually correlated manner, a first image feature at a first spot where a mobile object exists, approximate position information related to the mobile object at the first spot, position information related to a second spot on which the mobile object is predicted to move, and a second feature at the second spot; selects a plurality of the second features on the basis of the approximate position information; calculates a plurality of relative position information between the first spot and the respective second spots corresponding to the plurality of second features; determines consistency among the plurality of relative position information; and outputs determinate position information related to the mobile object. |
