Vehicle-Surroundings Recognition Device

摘要

Provided is a vehicle surroundings recognition apparatus capable of enhancing a calculation accuracy of a relative position and a relative speed with respect to an object such as a pedestrian even in a case where the object cannot be detected accurately in some of the images obtained by performing image-capturing around a vehicle, for example. In a case where a first state in which a first detection unit and a second detection unit detect first position information and second position information about an object and a second state in which only a second detection unit detects second position information about the object occur in a time sequence, first position information interpolation information for interpolating the first position information about the object in the second state is calculated on the basis of the first position information and the second position information in the first state and the second position information in the second state, and a relative distance and a relative speed to the object are measured on the basis of the first position information and the first position information interpolation information.

1. A vehicle surroundings recognition apparatus recognizing a distance to a pedestrian appearing in an image obtained by performing image-capturing around a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
a first detection unit detecting first position information about the pedestrian in the image; a second detection unit detecting second position information about a moving object in the image in accordance with a technique different from the first detection unit; a first detection position interpolation unit performing identical object association on the basis of the first position information about the pedestrian detected by the first detection unit and the second position information about the moving object detected by the second detection unit, and in a case where a first state in which the first position information and the second position information as the same object are detected and a second state in which the second position information about the moving object is detected with only the second detection unit occur in a time sequence, the first detection position interpolation unit calculating first position information interpolation information for interpolating the first position information about the pedestrian in the second state on the basis of a relative position of the first position information about the pedestrian with respect to the second position information about the moving object in the first state; and a distance measurement unit measuring a distance to the pedestrian on the basis of the first position information and the first position information interpolation information.
