Claim 9:
10. An estimation device for estimating a position on a cable hung between two points to which a force deforming a slack level of the cable is applied, the estimation device comprising:
a determiner configured to set a candidate for the position as a reference and determine a degree to which the candidate for the position is the position from a first region included in a region on one side of the reference and a second region included in a region on the other side of the reference,
wherein the degree is obtained based on at least one of an error between the second region and a region estimated to be the second region from the first region using a predetermined machine learning, an error between the first region and a region estimated to be the first region from the second region, and the degree is further based a distance between a wire model around a set of the first region and the second region and the set of the first region and the second region.
