摘要:
A vehicle vicinity monitoring apparatus detects a bicycle rider from infrared images. The vehicle vicinity monitoring apparatus converts the infrared images into binarized images, and calculates correlated errors of areas from a reference template. The vehicle vicinity monitoring apparatus judges an object of interest as the bicycle rider when the amplitude of the correlated errors changes periodically.

Provided is a vehicle surroundings monitoring device. Specifically, provided is a surroundings monitoring device mounted on a vehicle and equipped with: an infrared camera which images the surroundings of the vehicle; a display means for generating a display image on the basis of the image data imaged by means of the infrared camera and for displaying said display image; a calibration means for calibrating the output between the pixels of the infrared camera on the basis of the image data which imaged the surface of a shutter for opening and closing the aperture through which light enters to the infrared camera; an estimation means for estimating the stability of the temperature of the infrared camera from the operating condition of the vehicle; and a determination means for determining, on the basis of the behavior of the vehicle, the likelihood that the driver is viewing the display means. The calibration means performs calibration when it is estimated that the temperature of the infrared camera is stable and when it is determined that the likelihood that the driver is viewing the display means is low.
摘要:
A vehicle periphery monitoring device comprises a distance detecting means (20) for detecting the distance between cameras (2R, 2L) and an object, an object image extracting means (21) for extracting a first image portion of the object from the captured image of the camera (2R), a filtering means (23) for setting the edge width of the object narrower the smaller the assumed value of the width is and the longer the distance is on the basis of the assumed value of the width of the horizontal direction of a pedestrian and the distance between the camera (2R) and the object corresponding to the first image portion with respect to the captured image and performing filtering processing using a Gabor filter in which the object edge direction is set to the vertical direction, and an object type identifying means (24) for identifying whether or not the objet on the real space corresponding to the image portion is a pedestrian on the basis of the shape of the image portion extracted by the filtering processing. This enables the type of an object to be accurately identified on the basis of the shape of the contour of the image portion of the object extracted from the captured image of a camera.
