    Abstract: A drowsiness-estimating device capable of improving the precision of drowsiness estimation by eliminating the effect of individual differences. In the device, a recurrence required time-calculating part (103) calculates the recurrence required time, which is the time needed, after a detection time when an action is detected, for a drowsiness estimation parameter value acquired after the detection time to return to the value of the drowsiness estimation parameter acquired before the detection time. A drowsiness-estimating part (104) estimates the level of drowsiness of the drowsiness-estimation subject on the basis of the calculated recurrence required time. To be specific, the drowsiness-estimating part (104) maintains a drowsiness level-estimating table in which each of multiple time ranges is correlated with a possible drowsiness level, and specifies a possible drowsiness level that corresponds to the time range, among the multiple time ranges, with which the recurrence required time is associated.

    Abstract: A detection device capable of reliably detecting an object to be detected. An intersection region pattern setting unit (106) sets a configuration pattern of a first intersection region pattern group in sequence for each unit image pair. Each intersection region pattern is defined by set image information which denotes locations and sizes of regions (where n is a natural number greater than 1) within respective unit images (e.g., unit image plane coordinates), as well as whether each region is set within either or both of a first unit image and a second unit image. A detection unit (108) detects the object to be detected, based on a total feature value relating to each configuration pattern of the first intersection region pattern group, computed by a feature value computation unit (107), and a strong identification apparatus configured from a plurality of weak identification apparatuses and stored in an identification apparatus storage unit (112).

    Abstract: A traveling information providing device is provided in which a surrounding information corrector acquires surrounding information on the condition surrounding a vehicle equipped with the device. An object extractor extracts a safety confirmation object the safety of which must be confirmed by a driver from the surrounding information acquired by the surrounding information collector. A line-of-sight detector detects a line-of-sight direction of the driver. A visibility calculator receives the extracted safety confirmation object and the line-of-sight direction of the driver and calculates visibility in consideration of the driver's peripheral vision with respect to the safety confirmation object according to the distance or the angle from the driver's line-of-sight direction to the object. An information presenter presents safety confirmation to the driver depending on the calculated visibility.

    Abstract: An illumination apparatus for vehicle capable of improving visibility of a driver with respect to an object of traffic environment of the periphery of a vehicle is provided. A vehicle periphery detection section 2 detects a pedestrian, a bicycle, an oncoming car, a forward running car, a sign, an indication and a traffic signal which are an object of traffic environment in the periphery of a vehicle. A vehicle operation detection section 3 acquires a speed of its own vehicle, a steering angle of steering and information about inclination (angular speed sensor) of the vehicle. An illumination section 4 irradiates the periphery of its own vehicle and the front of its own vehicle with light. A color estimation section 15 estimates a color of the object of the traffic environment detected by the vehicle periphery detection section 2. A light toning section 13 changes all or any of illuminance, luminance and color temperature K (kelvin) of the light according to the color of the object of traffic environment. A light irradiation range control section 14 controls an irradiation range of the light toned based on a position to the object of the traffic environment, the inclination, the steering angle and the vehicle speed acquired by the vehicle operation detection section 3.
