Abstract

A position detection sensor using electromagnetic wave (1) estimates the position of a monitor object (100) in a first detection region (101), and outputs it as a first possibility distribution. A second sensor (4) estimates the position of the monitor object (100) in a second detection region (102), and outputs it as a second possibility distribution. A distribution computing means (5) outputs an integrated possibility distribution which it obtains by integrating the possibility distributions of the position of the monitor object 100 which are acquired by these sensors. An information presenting means (6) outputs the integrated possibility distribution as information about the most possible position of the monitor object (100).
