1. A self-position estimation device equipped to a vehicle and estimating a position of the vehicle, the self-position estimation device comprising:
a vehicle-mounted camera capturing an image of a periphery of the vehicle;
a vehicle state quantity sensor detecting a state quantity of the vehicle;
a satellite positioning acquisition unit acquiring position information indicating a position of the vehicle from a satellite system;
a map data storage storing map data that defines a map in which a road is expressed by a link and a node;
a position estimation unit estimating a self-position of the vehicle on the map, as an estimation position, based on the image captured by the vehicle-mounted camera, the state quantity, the position information, and the map data, respectively;
a lane quantity change determiner recognizing a road section in which a lane quantity increases or decreases based on the image captured by the vehicle-mounted camera; and
a position corrector setting a weighting of the estimation position of the vehicle estimated by the position estimation unit based on the map data to be relatively smaller in response to a recognition of the road section in which the lane quantity increases or decreases compared with a case where the road section in which the lane quantity increases or decreases is not recognized.
