POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM, MOBILE BODY USING THE SAME, POSITION DETECTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the calculation of a position posture when a characteristic subject does not exist within the measurement range of a sensor and even when the sensor is located outside the measurement range of the other sensor.

SOLUTION: A first sensor obtains position information and color information of an existence object in an environment as first detection information. A second sensor obtains the color information of the existence object as second detection information. An information processor includes: a position posture temporary setting part for temporarily setting the position posture of the second sensor; a virtual detection information generation part for virtually generating detection information, which is to be obtained when the existence object is detected based on the position posture of the second sensor temporarily set by the position posture temporary setting part, as virtual detection information through the use of the first detection information; a comparison part for comparing the virtual detection information generated by the virtual detection information generation part with the second detection information obtained by the second sensor; and a position posture estimation part for outputting a position posture estimation value of the second sensor on the basis of a comparison result of the comparison part and the temporarily set position posture of the second sensor.
