    摘要: Provided is a vehicle surroundings recognition apparatus capable of enhancing a calculation accuracy of a relative position and a relative speed with respect to an object such as a pedestrian even in a case where the object cannot be detected accurately in some of the images obtained by performing image-capturing around a vehicle, for example. In a case where a first state in which a first detection unit 12 and a second detection unit 13 detect first position information and second position information about an object and a second state in which only a second detection unit 13 detects second position information about the object occur in a time sequence, first position information interpolation information for interpolating the first position information about the object in the second state is calculated on the basis of the first position information and the second position information in the first state and the second position information in the second state, and a relative distance and a relative speed to the object are measured on the basis of the first position information and the first position information interpolation information.

    摘要: A surrounding environment recognition device includes: an image acquisition unit that obtains a photographic image from a camera for capturing, via a camera lens, an image of a surrounding environment around a mobile object; an image recognition unit that recognizes an object image of an object present in the surrounding environment based upon the photographic image obtained by the image acquisition unit; an accumulation detection unit that detects accumulation settled on the camera lens based upon the photographic image obtained by the image acquisition unit; a suspension decision-making unit that makes a decision, based upon detection results provided by the accumulation detection unit, whether or not to suspend operation of the image recognition unit; a tracking unit that detects a characteristic quantity in a tracking target image from a specific area in an image captured by the image acquisition unit for a reference frame, determines through calculation an estimated area where the characteristic quantity should be detected in an image captured by the image acquisition unit for a later frame relative to the reference frame and makes a decision as to whether or not the characteristic quantity for the tracking target image is also present in the estimated area; and a resumption decision-making unit that makes a decision, based upon at least decision-making results provided by the tracking unit and indicating whether or not the characteristic quantity for the tracking target image is present, as to whether or not to resume the operation of the image recognition unit currently in a suspended state.

    摘要: An approaching-object detection system detects an approaching object based on images captured by an imaging device. The approaching-object detection system comprises an extraction unit, a distortion correction unit, an object detection unit, and an approaching-object classification unit. The extraction unit extracts a partial image of one far side and a partial image of the other far side from each of the images. The distortion correction unit corrects distortion of the partial images. The object detection unit detects an object from the corrected partial images through pattern matching with reference to preinstalled image information on the object. The approaching-object classification unit classifies the detection result of the object detection unit as an approaching object or not.

    摘要: The present invention provides a vehicle-mounted imaging device that can notify a user of contamination, at a facility, a home or the vicinity thereof in which the user tends to easily eliminate the contamination on a lens or a protective glass of the lens of a camera. The vehicle-mounted imaging device includes: an accretion diagnosis unit 22 that diagnoses a state of the contamination that has been accreted on a lens of camera sections 11A, 11B, 11C, and 11D or on a protective glass of the lens; and a contamination notification determination unit 23 that determines the presence or absence of a notification of the contamination, on the basis of positional information on a predetermined type of facility that is obtained from a navigation device 31 having a database 31b containing a GPS 31a, a map and peripheral facility information, and of a vehicle, wherein when it has been determined by the accretion diagnosis unit 22 that a contamination level is a threshold value or higher, a route to a destination has been set by the navigation device 31, and it has been determined by the contamination notification determination unit 23 that the facility exists in a predetermined distance range from the route, the vehicle-mounted imaging device notifies the user that there is the contamination, by the display device 32 and/or a speaker device 33 provided in the vehicle.
