Abstract: An object detection apparatus includes a camera and an ECU. The camera is mounted to a vehicle and captures an image. The ECU is configured to obtain a depth distance for each pixel area of the image based on the image; extract at least one potential object based on the depth distance; calculate an amount of change over time in the depth distance of the at least one potential object; and detect an object around the vehicle from among the at least one potential object using the amount of change over time. When a first potential object and a second potential object that are adjacent in the image are extracted, and a second amount of change over time is twice a first amount of change over time, the second potential object is determined to be the same object as the first potential object.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for generating a disparity map. According to the apparatus, an image acquisition section acquires a right-camera image and a left-camera image which are picked up from mutually different viewpoints by cameras. A disparity map generation section generates a disparity map that includes disparity expressed in terms of a difference in pixel positions between each of pixels and a corresponding one of pixels in the right-camera image and the left-camera image, respectively, as acquired. A weight determination section determines a weight that serves as a degree of contribution to disparity correction, for each of weight-calculation-target pixels composed of surrounding pixels. The weight-calculation-target pixels include a correction-target pixel or surrounding pixels that are present around the correction-target pixel in the disparity map. A disparity map correction section corrects the disparity of the correction-target pixel, using weighted average based on the determined weight.

Abstract: A target object estimating apparatus comprises parallax information calculating means for calculating parallax information including a parallax between corresponding pixels of taken images taken at a same computation timing, road surface region detecting means for detecting a road surface region in the taken image based on the parallax information, road surface region determining means for determining whether or not each pixel in the taken image corresponds to the road surface region, transition information calculating means for calculating transition information including a change amount of a position of each pixel, using temporally sequential taken images, and estimated value calculating means for estimating a position and a speed of a target object by calculating, based on the parallax/transition information, estimated values of the position and the speed of each pixel. The estimated value calculating means does not calculate the estimated values for a pixel determined to correspond to the road surface region.

Abstract: In an object detection apparatus, a range image generator, based on distance information indicative of distances from a given measurement point to objects in real space, generates a range image indicative of a distribution of distance information of objects located around the measurement point. A subgroup generator horizontally divides the range image into a number of column regions of prescribed width, and for each column region, generates one or more subgroups that extend continuously in a vertical direction of the range image and fall within a given range of distance information. A continuity determiner determines, for each of the subgroups, whether or not there is distance continuity between the subgroup and its horizontally adjacent subgroup in the range image. A merger merges together horizontally continuous-in-distance subgroups. An object detector detects an object in each of regions of the range image corresponding to the respective merged groups.
