Claim 0:
1. An information processing device, comprising:
an image sensor configured to capture an image of a landmark;
a depth sensor configured to detect depth data associated with a terrain surrounding the information processing device; and
circuitry configured to:
execute an image recognition process on the captured image;
acquire an arrangement of the landmark based on the image recognition process on the captured image;
acquire a landmark movement range of the landmark;
generate, based on the detected depth data, a first terrain data map indicating surrounding terrain data of the terrain;
estimate, based on the arrangement of the landmark acquired, the landmark movement range and a landmark map indicating the arrangement of the landmark, a range in which a self-position of the information processing device is located;
position, on the first terrain data map, the estimated range in which the self-position is located;
generate a second terrain data map based on the position of the estimated range on the first terrain data map;
estimate, based on the second terrain data map and the landmark movement range, the self-position from the range in which the self-position is located; and
control self-driving of the information processing device based on the estimated self-position.
