    Abstract: In an autonomous driving system in which a plurality of autonomous driving vehicles drive under the control by occlusion control, such a situation is prevented that a vehicle is disabled to drive by a failure of an external world sensor for recognizing an obstacle and stops in an occlusion region thereby to obstruct advancement of overall succeeding vehicles to remarkably degrade the efficiency of the overall transportation work. In the autonomous driving system of the present invention, an autonomous driving vehicle which detects an obstacle or a driving road by a sensor and performs autonomous driving includes sensor state evaluation means configured to evaluate a state of performance degradation of the sensor, speed and steering angle control value setting means configured to provide limit values to the driving speed and the steering angle based on a state of performance degradation of the sensor, and movement obstacle evaluation means configured to evaluate an influence on movement of other vehicles when the vehicle stops at a position at present. When the sensor suffers from performance degradation, the vehicle stops after it drives within the set limit values to the speed and the steering angle to a point at which the vehicle does not obstruct movement of other vehicles.

    Abstract: Provided is an external environment recognition system which complements a blind spot of an on-board camera occurring due to a moving obstacle such as a preceding vehicle with a photographed image obtained from an on-road camera, and can generate a detailed map for automatic traveling. To this end, the external environment recognition system composites a photographed image from an on-board camera with a photographed image from an external camera to recognize the environment outside the host vehicle, the external environment recognition system comprising: an on-board camera which photographs an area in front of the host vehicle; an on-board communication unit which communicates with the external camera; a front moving body detection unit which detects a moving body in the front area on the basis of the photographed image from the on-board camera; a blind spot extraction unit which extracts a blind spot caused by the moving body; an image conversion unit which converts the received photographed image from the external camera into a viewpoint of the on-board camera; an image compositing unit which composites the viewpoint conversion image from the image conversion unit with the blind spot of the photographed image from the on-board camera; and a detailed map generation unit which generates a detailed map in the traveling direction of the host vehicle on the basis of the composited image from the image compositing unit.

    Abstract: An object recognition device includes a camera (113) and a radar (114), detects an estimated plane region estimated to be a plane from an image from the camera (113) (S202), and calculates a plane equation for the estimated plane region (S207). The object recognition device interpolates and estimates distance data within the estimated plane region based on the plane equation and the measured distance data from the radar (S210) and obtains the distance to an object by using the distance data. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain dense distance data throughout the estimated plane region and to detect the distance to small objects and distant objects.
