Abstract:
An object detection apparatus includes an input port that receives information on a plurality of objects in surroundings of a vehicle and information on a traffic environment of the vehicle, the plurality of objects being detected by a sensor installed on the vehicle, a controller that determines, based on the information on the plurality of objects and the information on the traffic environment, priority for each of the plurality of objects and determines first information based on the priority in a case where the total amount of information on the plurality of objects is greater than a determined value, the first information being information on part of the plurality of objects, and an output port that outputs the first information to an in-vehicle apparatus that controls the vehicle.
Abstract:
A driving lane detection device of the present disclosure includes: an object detector, a vehicle detector, and a driving lane detector. The object detector generates object data relating to a distance and direction from the vehicle to an object and a movement direction of the object based on one or more reflection waves that are a radar signal transmitted by a radar device and reflected by the one or more object. The vehicle detector detects each object as at least one of a parallel-running vehicle running in a same direction as the vehicle or an oncoming vehicle running in an opposite direction to the vehicle, based on the object data. The driving lane detector detects a driving lane based on the distance and direction from the vehicle to at least one of the detected parallel-running and the detected oncoming vehicles and lane information on at least one of lane widths and a number of lanes of a road on which the vehicle is running.
