摘要:
An object detection apparatus receives an input of a compressed image stream, extracts, from a block included in the input compressed image stream, predetermined compression encoded information representing a feature of a compressed image, and determines, based on the extracted predetermined compression encoded information, whether or not the block is a candidate block including at least a part of the specific object. The object detection apparatus identifies, in a decoded image decoded from the compressed image stream, a candidate region of a predetermined size including the candidate block, calculates a predetermined feature amount from image data of the candidate region, and determines, based on the calculated predetermined feature amount, whether or not the candidate region includes at least a part of the specific object.

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.

An in-vehicle image recognizer effectively detects a moving object from an image even when a lens has grime. In a detection sensitivity adjustor (50) which adjusts detection sensitivity to be increased according to a white turbidity level (U), the detection sensitivity of a vehicle detector (70) (image recognition application execution unit), which detects the other vehicle (6) (moving object) existing in the surrounding area of a vehicle (5) with a predetermined detection sensitivity from the image obtained by an imaging unit (10) disposed in the vehicle (5) to observe the surrounding area of the vehicle (5) through a lens (12) and convert the light signal of the observed surrounding area of the vehicle (5) into an image signal, is corrected based on the attachment level M of the attached matter such as dirt or water drops to the lens (12), which is calculated by an attachment level calculator (26).

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.
