Abstract

To improve estimation accuracy of a self-position. Light at a predetermined wavelength is projected. An image of a reflector with a reflectance higher than a predetermined reflectance is taken by receiving reflected light of the projected light reflected by the reflector. Own orientation is estimated on the basis of the taken image of the reflector. As a result, the self-position can be highly accurately estimated on the basis of the reflector even at night. The present disclosure can be applied to an on-board system.
