A driving assist system for a vehicle comprises an imaging device configured to take an image of a region forward of the vehicle, a road region detector configured to detect a road region corresponding to a road from the image taken by the imaging device, a person candidate detector configured to detect a person candidate from the image taken by the imaging device, and a person determiner configured to determine whether or not the detected person candidate is a person, based on a positional relationship between the road region detected by the road region detector and the person candidate detected by the person candidate detector.

A travel section line recognizer for vehicle comprising a section line recognizing means capable of recognizing at least a broken travel section line, e.g. a white line, on a pavement in an image photographed by means of a camera, and an image synthesizing means for synthesizing a plurality of images photographed at different times to extend the length of the travel section line in the photographed image (S10-S16), wherein the photographed images are synthesized in a processing stage that causes no variation in the shape of at least the travel section line in the photographed image in the recognition processing of the travel section line, i.e. in a stage before detecting an edge (S12). Since a series of points corresponding to a remote travel section line is not lost when the photographed images are synthesized, the travel section line can be recognized with high accuracy.

A method of determining whether a vehicle and an object are one a collision course, the method comprising the steps of: acquiring a plurality of images of the object; determining from the images respective motions of at least two features of the object; determining a time-to-collision (TTC) from the images; and determining if the vehicle and the object are on a collision course from the relative motions at the TTC.

A vehicular imaging system (12) includes a forward facing photosensor array (15) and a control (13) responsive to the photosensor array. The control processes an image data set indicative of captured images, and the control processes a reduced image data set of the image data set to determine whether an object of interest is within a target zone of the captured image. The reduced image data set is representative of a portion of the captured images as captured by a particular grouping (15b) of the photosensor elements (15a). The control adjusts the reduced image data set so as to be representative of a portion of the captured images as captured by a different particular grouping of the photosensor elements, and adjusts the reduced image data set in response to a determination of a change in a focus of expansion of the captured images.

An image processing system or the like capable of with high precision recognizing a lane mark in a road image even if light irradiation conditions onto a road surface are partially different. According to an image processing system (100) mounted on a vehicle (10), in view of a high probability with which the color components of a second pixel included in an area along with a first pixel are receiving effects of shadows or lights on a road surface portion, the color components Rij, Gij, Bij of the first pixel Pij included in an area Aij set in a road surface image are corrected based on the color components Rik, Gik, Bik of the second pixel Pik. Accordingly, the effects of shadows or lights on a road surface can be reduced, and the actual color of a road surface portion equivalent to the first pixel can be satisfactorily reflected in the color components Rij, Gij, Bij of the first pixel Pij and accordingly in a feature quantity Qij. Therefore, a lane mark M and its edge E can be recognized in a road surface image based on the feature quantity Qij of each pixel Pij of a road surface image.

A lane recognizing device comprises: an image processing means (2) which performs a process of estimating a lane of a road by processing an image of the road obtained via an imaging means (8) and outputs a result of the process as first lane information; a holding means (3) which holds map data of the road; a position information obtaining means (4) which obtains the current position information of a vehicle; a lane estimating means (5) which performs a process of estimating the lane of the road using the map data and the current position information and outputs a result of the process as second lane information; and an actual lane recognizing means (6) which recognizes an actual lane of the road on the basis of the first lane information and the second lane information. Thereby, even if there is an unpredictable skid mark or road repaired part, it is possible to detect the lane accurately while increasing the opportunities for detecting the lane as much as possible by processing the road image obtained via the imaging means such as a camera and obtaining the road information from a GPS or the like and the map data.

An image processing system and the like capable of improving recognition accuracy of a lane mark are provided. According to the image processing system of the present invention, a first processing unit (110) recognizes a lane mark candidate on the basis of the luminance of each pixel in a road image. Moreover, there are evaluated a first index which represents continuity of an edge of the lane mark candidate, a second index which represents conformance between the width of the lane mark candidate and a lane mark standard width, and a third index which represents uniformity of the luminance of pixels contained in the lane mark candidate. According to the first, second, and third indices, a second processing unit (120) recognizes a lane mark candidate most likely to be a true lane mark as a lane mark.

The invention provides seamless activation of a mobile terminal-integrated short-range communication reader along with activation and execution of an application required to further process the information read from a tag. In this regard, the user of the mobile terminal can intuitively control the applications/operations that will be triggered in connection with reading a shortrange communication tag. As such the invention is able to provide an efficient and reliable means for accessing additional information related to the tag data, storing data included in the tag data or performing other functions related to the tag data.
摘要:
In a computerized system including a camera mounted in a moving vehicle. The camera acquires consecutively in real time image frames including images of an object within the field of view of the camera. Range to the object from the moving vehicle is determined in real time. A dimension, e.g., a width, is measured in the respective images of two or more image frames, thereby producing measurements of the dimension. The measurements are processed to produce a smoothed measurement of the dimension. The dimension is measured subsequently in one or more subsequent frames. The range from the vehicle to the object is calculated in real time based on the smoothed measurement and the subsequent measurements. The processing preferably includes calculating recursively the smoothed dimension using a Kalman filter.
