Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to an embodiment, a position estimation device includes first and second obtaining units, first and second calculators, and an estimating unit. The first obtaining unit is configured to obtain first data about a size and a position of an object in a first image. The second obtaining unit is configured to obtain second data about a distance to or a position of the object in a second image. The first calculator is configured to calculate, based on the first and second data, weights for first and second actual sizes of the object estimated respectively from the first and second data. The second calculator is configured to calculate a third actual size of the object by using the first and second actual sizes and the weights. The estimating unit is configured to estimate a three-dimensional position of the object by using the third actual size.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
