DESTINATION POSITION DETECTION DEVICE, DESTINATION POSITION DETECTION METHOD, DESTINATION POSITION DETECTION PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

A destination position detection device is constructed as a terminal device such as a navigation device or a PC for performing destination position detection by using map data. In the destination position detection device holding map information, map image acquisition means acquires a map image having shape information. Destination determination means subjects the map image to image analysis processing to search for information for discriminating a predetermined destination and determines the destination. Extraction means subjects the map information to image analysis processing to extract map information in the image. The map information in the map image contains shape information on roads etc. Map shape comparison means compares shape information in the map information in the destination position detection device and shape information in the map information in the image and specifies the geographic position of the destination.
