To provide a technology which, for example, can estimate a blind angle area which can be used for automatic operation to enable proper automatic operation.SOLUTION: A blind angle estimation device includes: an acquisition part; and an estimation part. The acquisition part acquires an object area based on object information. The object information is information of an object in a preset area detected by a detection part. The object area is an area of the object. The estimate part estimates a blind angle area based on the object area. The blind angle area is an area which becomes a blind angle as seen from the detected part due to the object.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】例えば、自動運転を適切化するために自動運転で使用可能な死角領域を推定可能な技術を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】死角推定装置は、取得部と、推定部とを備える。取得部は、物体情報に基づいて、物体領域を取得する。物体情報は、検出部で検出された予め定められた領域内の物体の情報である。物体領域は、物体の領域である。推定部は、物体領域に基づいて、死角領域を推定する。死角領域は、物体によって検出部の死角となる領域である。【選択図】図２
