Abstract

According to one embodiment, an apparatus for generating an occupancy grid map constituted with a two-dimensional grid around a first moving body includes processing circuitry configured to acquire data of a distance from the first moving body to an obstacle lying in surroundings of the first moving body; acquire first information indicating the movement status of the first moving body at current time and determine an operation mode of the first moving body; set a range of interest in a grid of a resolution higher than a resolution of the grid of the occupancy grid map, from the operation mode; and align the occupancy grid map to the range of interest and generate the occupancy grid map in such a manner that the obstacle exists in the grid of the occupancy grid map and the grid of the range of interest with respect to a position corresponding to the distance data.
