POSITION ESTIMATION METHOD, POSITION ESTIMATION DEVICE, AND POSITION ESTIMATION PROGRAM

A position estimation unit estimates, for each movement in a predetermined section, a plurality of position candidates of a position estimation target on the basis of position information and sensor information. A position determination unit evaluates, for each movement in the predetermined section, on the basis of the plurality of position candidates of the position estimation target obtained by the movement in the predetermined section, whether the position information used to estimate the position candidates has an error caused by any of a position of a GPS satellite, a position of a mobile body in a real space, or the mobile body or does not have any error caused thereby. The position determination unit determines a final output value of the position of the position estimation target on the basis of a result obtained by removing, from the plurality of estimated position candidates of the position estimation target in the plurality of times of the movement in the predetermined section, a position candidate of the position estimation target estimated in the movement in the predetermined section that has been evaluated to have the error.
