Abstract:
1. A moving body positioning device, comprising: an internal observation device provided to a moving body, to measure and output a motion of the moving body; an internal observation data processing device that estimates a motion of the moving body based on the output from the internal observation device; an external observation device that observes motion of a plurality of moving bodies; an external observation data processing device that estimates a motion of the moving body from an observation result by the external observation device; and a collation processing device that collates a first output from the internal observation data processing device with a second output of the external observation data processing device, and outputs its collation result as a TRUE signal when the first output matches the second output or a FALSE signal when the first output does not match the second output, the internal observation device includes a self-contained sensor group that outputs an acceleration vector of the moving body, the acceleration vector being obtained with use of an acceleration sensor provided in the moving body, the internal observation data processing device is a self-contained sensor base motion identification processing device that identifies a movement kind of the moving body in accordance with an output of the self-contained sensor group, and outputs an identification result indicating the movement kind together with a measured time, the external observation device includes a monitoring camera for externally image capturing the moving bodies, the external observation data processing device is an image analysis processing device that analyzes an image of the monitoring camera to identify the movement kind of the moving body in the image and outputs its identification result together with a measured time, and the collation processing device is a movement kind collation processing device that collates the output of the self-contained sensor base motion identification processing device with the output of the image analysis processing device, and outputs its collation result as a TRUE signal or a FALSE signal.
