    摘要: Devices, methods, and programs obtain vehicle position information indicating a current position of a vehicle, and based on the vehicle position information, obtain road information including positions and forms of lane markings around the current position of the vehicle. Based on the road information, the devices, systems, and methods determine whether a branch point exists on the road in a forward direction of the vehicle. If a branch point exists, the devices, methods, and programs obtain image information of an area before the branch point, and determine whether no lane marking is imaged or is partly imaged in the image information of the area before the branch point. If there is no lane marking or only a partial lane marking imaged in the area before the branch point, the devices, methods, and programs obtain image information of the branch point including a captured image of a lane marking, and determine a lane in which the vehicle is traveling after the branch point based on an imaging order of the lane marking, a form of the lane marking, a position of the lane marking in the image information of the branch point, and the road information.

    摘要: An object recognition device detects a position of a vehicle based on a running path obtained by GPS, vehicle speed, steering angle, etc., and also detects the position of the vehicle based on a result of recognition of an object obtained using a captured image of a camera. The device computes a positioning accuracy in detecting the vehicle position, which accuracy mostly deteriorates as a movement distance of the vehicle increases. Positional data of the object on the road to be recognized is stored in a map database beforehand. A recognition range of the road of the object to be recognized is set based on the detected position of the vehicle, a position of the object stored in the map database, and the computed positioning accuracy. The object is recognized for the set recognition range by processing of the captured image of the camera.

    摘要: A navigation apparatus is obtained that can reduce as much as possible to blank interval during the navigation even when a route deviation has occurred. In order to structure a navigation apparatus that includes a guided vehicle position determining portion 3c that finds the position of a guided vehicle and a recommended route searching portion 3i that searches for a recommended route to a destination point, a problem condition identifying portion 3f is provided that identifies the presence or absence of a problem condition that makes the travel along the recommended route Ro difficult when viewed in terms of the current condition of the guided vehicle with respect to the recommended route Ro forward travel side of the position of the guided vehicle, and a route deviation plan portion 3h is provided that sets a point that the guided vehicle is anticipated to reach under the presence of the problem condition to the starting point, activates the recommended route searching portion 3i, and searches for a new recommended route Rn from the starting point to a destination point in the case in which the problem condition identifying portion 3f has identified that a problem condition is present.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and programs for determining whether a vehicle is off-road or on-road, store map data, determine the vehicle's current position; and obtain information about an area around the current position of the vehicle from the stored map data. The systems, methods, and programs obtain information related to a road-side zone of a road from the obtained information about the area around the current position of the vehicle, and determine that the road-side zone is crossed. The systems, methods, and programs may make an off-road determination if the determined current position of the vehicle was on-road before the crossing of the road-side zone and make an on-road determination if the current position of the vehicle was off-road before the crossing of the road-side zone.
