    摘要: A vehicle environment monitoring apparatus is equipped with a monitored object detecting unit 26 which detects an object having possibility of contact by applying an object detecting algorithm for short range when the distance calculated from data on one disparity by the first distance calculating unit 24 is equal to or less than a predetermined distance, and detects the object having possibility of contact by applying an object detecting algorithm for long range when the distance is longer than the predetermined distance, using the distance between the object and the vehicle calculated from a disparity gradient by the second distance calculating unit 25.

    摘要: An object recognition system includes one or more image sensors and a controller that is adapted for measuring the distance from the system to objects with respect to respective windows of an image captured by the sensors is provided. The controller forms clusters by uniting adjacent windows that have similar measured distances. The system includes a memory for storing data on a previously recognized physical object. The controller infers a physical object based on data on a previously recognized physical object and the speed of the vehicle relative to a previously recognized physical object and wherein said controller determines a combination of clusters that best matches the inferred physical object. The controller groups the clusters into one or more cluster groups according to the distance from the vehicle carrying the system and selects from one of the cluster groups those clusters that overlaps with a physical object inferred by the controller. The controller matches combinations of the selected clusters with the inferred physical object based on the attributes of the combined clusters and the attributes of the inferred physical object.

    摘要: An object detection system comprises a physical object recognition unit which recognizes physical objects outside the vehicle, and a physical object memory which stores information concerning the physical objects. A controller recognizes presence of a physical object when the physical object is sensed by one or more sensors a predetermined number of times, which is larger for a central portion of the detecting area than for a peripheral portion of the detecting area. The system includes a memory for storing information about the physical objects. The controller holds the physical object stored in the memory indicating that the physical object is existent until the controller fails to recognize presence of the corresponding physical object a predetermined number of recognition cycles.

    摘要: A vehicle environment monitoring device identifies objects from an image taken by an infrared camera. Object extraction from images is performed in accordance with the state of the environment as determined by measurements extracted from the images as follows: N1 binarized objects are extracted from a single frame. Height of a grayscale objects corresponding to one of the binarized objects are calculated. If a ratio of the number of binarized objects C, where the absolute value of the height difference is less than the predetermined value ΔH, to the total number N1 of binarized objects, is greater than a predetermined value X1, the image frame is determined to be rainfall-affected. If the ratio is less than the predetermined value X1, the image frame is determined to be a normal frame. A warning is provided if it is determined that the object is a pedestrian and if a collision is likely.

    摘要: A device for monitoring around a vehicle capable of detecting objects present around the vehicle based on an image captured by at least one infrared camera member provided with the vehicle. An area which is inferred to correspond to the pedestrian's head is established as a reference area. Two object areas are established above the reference area so as to correspond to spaces above the shoulders on both sides of the pedestrian's head. An area which corresponds to the head and the shoulders in an infra-red ray image is acknowledged. Another object area which is inferred to correspond to the shoulders and arms of the pedestrian is established. If a distance from an entire pedestrian and a distance from an area which corresponds to the shoulders and arms are equal, it is acknowledged that a binary object including the area which corresponds to the shoulders and arms indicates a pedestrian.
