    摘要: An apparatus for detecting a direction of a target is provided. The apparatus transmits and receives radio waves through a plurality of transmission/reception channels causing a phase difference in signals to be received through the transmission/reception channels and calculates the direction based on the phase difference. The apparatus comprises a direction calculating device, range determining device, and direction correcting device. The direction calculating device calculates the direction of the target based on the phase difference in the received signals on the assumption that the phase difference is within a range of −π to +π [rad]. The range determining device determines that the target exists in any of azimuthal angle ranges each corresponding to ranges defined by (2m−1)π to (2m+1)π [rad] (m is an integer). The direction correcting device corrects the direction according to a range-determined result.

    摘要: In a boundary line recognition apparatus, a boundary line candidate extracting part extracts boundary line candidates from image data obtained by an on-vehicle camera based on known image processing such as pattern matching and Hough transform. One or more kinds of boundary line feature calculating parts calculate one or more likelihoods of each boundary line candidate. The likelihood indicates a degree of probability to be the boundary line. A boundary line feature combining means multiplies the likelihoods of each boundary line candidate and outputs a combined likelihood. A boundary line candidate selecting part selects the boundary line candidate having a maximum likelihood as the boundary line. The boundary line feature calculating part further calculates the likelihood of the boundary line candidate using a dispersion of brightness and an internal edge amount, and changes the likelihood based on an additional likelihood obtained by a driving lane surface feature extracting part.

    摘要: An image processing device determines, cuts and extracts a processing area from an image data monitored by a camera mounted onto a driver's vehicle based on a distance between a front target object and a driver's vehicle, a horizontal position of the driver's vehicle, and a strength of a radar wave transmitted from a radar device and then reflected by objects in front of the driver's vehicle. The radar device is mounted to the driver's vehicle and transmits the radar wave to the front area of the driver's vehicle. The image processing device extracts vertical edges and horizontal edges from the image data in the processing area, and subtracts the horizontal edge values from the vertical edge values, and finally detects whether or not the front target object is a three-dimensional object based on the calculated result of the subtraction of the edges.

    摘要: In an exposure control apparatus for a vehicle-installed camera which captures images of an external scene ahead of the vehicle as respective arrays of picture elements, highest-brightness and lowest-brightness picture elements of each image are excluded from processing for measuring the brightness of a region in the scene ahead of the vehicle, thereby enabling stable measurement of brightness with reduced effects of incident light from oncoming vehicle headlights, dark patches on the road surface, etc.
