In order to efficiently estimate the position of an object in a three-dimensional space, a position estimation system includes a position estimation device and three imaging devices. The three imaging devices are arranged such that imaging positions of the imaging devices form a triangle. The position estimation device acquires images from the three imaging devices, performs transformation from image coordinates to stereo spherical image coordinates, then determines whether or not the epipolar constraint is satisfied in each pair of the stereo spherical image coordinates, and, if the epipolar constraint is satisfied, estimates that such coordinate points correspond to the coordinate position of an object.
In order to adjust the amount of money in a transaction apparatus installed in a store, a transaction system includes: a money handling unit that receives money, and recognizes and counts the received money to acquire a first total amount of the received money and a quantity of money for each denomination; a memory that stores therein a transaction condition including a transaction fee rate previously set for each denomination; and a processing unit that calculates, for each denomination, an amount of money by multiplying the quantity of money for each denomination by the transaction fee rate, based on the quantity of money and the transaction condition, and performs processing on a transaction of the received money, based on the first total amount acquired by the money handling unit and on a second total amount calculated by summing up the calculated amounts of money for the respective denominations.

MONEY PROCESSING SYSTEM AND MONEY PROCESSING METHOD
A money processing system includes first and second money processing devices and a computer that executes notification management based on the inventory amount of the first money processing device and the inventory amount of the second money processing device. The computer refrains from issuing a notification of prompting execution of first processing in the second money processing device in a case where a notification of prompting execution of the first processing in the first money processing device is issued, and refrains from issuing a notification of prompting execution of second processing in the second money processing device in a case where a notification of prompting execution of the second processing in the first money processing device is issued.
