Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a moving body, a position estimation method, and a program capable of achieving high accuracy of self-position estimation. An imaging control unit sets a zoom parameter of an imaging unit having a zoom lens according to at least any one of an altitude or a moving speed of its own machine, and a self-position estimation unit estimates a self-position on the basis of an image captured by the imaging unit in which the zoom parameter is set. Technology according to the present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a moving body such as a drone.
