Patent attributes
There is provided a positioning apparatus, a positioning method, and a program that make it possible to perform positioning with a high degree of accuracy using an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor. A movement vector is estimated using a machine learning model on the basis of acceleration of a device and an angular velocity of the device, the movement vector indicating a movement amount and a movement direction of the device, the acceleration being detected by an acceleration sensor that is used to detect the acceleration, the angular velocity being detected by an angular velocity sensor that is used to detect the angular velocity. Then, the estimated movement vector is integrated, and a relative position of the device is calculated. For example, the present technology is applicable to a positioning apparatus that measures a position of, for example, a pedestrian.
