An image recognition apparatus is capable of recognizing an image of an object of interest with high recognition accuracy even when the object is difficult to recognize only from image information acquired by an image pickup apparatus. The image recognition apparatus includes image information acquisition means for capturing image information of an image taken on a road, road feature information acquisition means for acquiring, from map information, road feature information C associated with a feature in the neighborhood of a position where the image information is taken, and image information recognition means for recognizing the image information using the road feature information C to recognize an image of an object to be recognized corresponding to the feature included in the image information.

Devices, methods, and programs determine whether a vehicle has exited a link based on map information. If so, the devices, methods, and programs acquire a travel traffic congestion level of the exited link based on travel information within the exited link, and determine whether the travel traffic congestion level of the exited link coincides with a distributed traffic congestion level at a time when the vehicle exited. If not, the devices, methods, and programs determine whether the traffic information has been updated and the distributed traffic congestion level has been changed within the exited link, and if so, acquire a distribution time rate of each distributed traffic congestion level within the exited link. The devices, methods, and programs determine a traffic congestion level of the exited link based on the distribution time rate of each acquired distributed traffic congestion level and the travel traffic congestion level of the exited link.

A scene matching reference data generation system inputs a set of probe data. The set of the probe data includes captured images sequentially obtained by a plurality of probe cars and the vehicle positions of the probe cars. The system temporarily stores the captured images, evaluates accuracy reliability degrees of the image-capturing positions of the captured images, and assigns the accuracy reliability degrees to the captured images. The system selects, as a plurality of processing target captured images, a plurality of the captured images having accuracy reliability degrees equal to or higher than a first predetermined degree, extracts image feature points from the selected processing target captured images, and generates image feature point data based on the extracted image feature points. The system generates reference data for scene matching by associating the generated image feature point data with a reference image-capturing position corresponding to the generated image feature point data.

Navigation devices, methods, and programs obtain information indicating a route of a host vehicle, obtain information indicating a position of the host vehicle, and obtain information indicating a form of a number (N) of successive curves (where N is an integer of 2 or more) in front of the host vehicle position on the route. The devices, methods, and programs excite a vibrator provided at a position where contact with a driver of the host vehicle is possible in a vibration mode corresponding to the form of the N successive curves when the host vehicle reaches a position at a predetermined distance from the closest curve among the N successive curves.

An image processing system temporarily stores, as processing target captured images, captured images whose image-capturing positions are included in a predetermined region. The system calculates similarity degrees of the processing target captured images, selects the processing target captured images whose similarity degrees are different from each other as useful images, and extracts image feature points from each of the useful images. The system generates image feature point data that includes the extracted image feature points, generates reference data used when scenic image recognition is performed by associating the generated image feature point data with an image-capturing position at which the image is captured to obtain the captured image corresponding to the image feature point data, and creates a reference data database.

An image processing system inputs a captured image of a scene viewed from a vehicle, extracts image feature points from the captured image, and obtains image-capturing situation information indicating a possibility that a specific subject is included in the captured image. The system determines importance degrees of the extracted image feature points based on the image-capturing situation information and generates image feature point data using the extracted image feature points based on the importance degrees. The system generates reference data by associating the image feature point data with image-capturing attribute information and creates a reference data database. The image-capturing attribute information includes an image-capturing position at which the image is captured to obtain the captured image corresponding to the image feature point data.

A vehicle control system is provided that improves the riding comfort by decelerating before a level change, even when the speed of the vehicle is high, through deceleration control when a characteristic value, that represents the relationship between the speed and the vertical acceleration of a vehicle, exceeds a comfort demarcation line that indicates a critical value of comfort in passing over the level change. The vehicle control system includes a memory that stores level change information for level changes in a road; a vehicle speed detector; and a vehicle speed controller that calculates the characteristic value based on the detected vehicle speed and the level change information, and executes acceleration control when the calculated characteristic value exceeds the critical value of comfort.

Provided is a driving support device and method that specifies the reliability of information used in a driving support device. The driving support device includes a storage medium that stores one or more programs and accuracy information that specifies the reliability of information of various elements used by one of the programs to provide driving support. The driving support device also includes an execution target program specification unit that specifies what program from the one or more programs is to be executed as the execution target program. An element selection unit selects an element that corresponds to the specified execution target program from the various elements. The device also includes a reliability specification unit that specifies the reliability of information used in the target execution program based on the accuracy information of the selected element.
