摘要

A vehicle detection system (100) is provided with: an imaging device (11) mounted on a vehicle, the imaging device (11) capturing an image to the side of the vehicle and generating image-capture data that shows an image; and a vehicle detection apparatus (apparatus) (16). The vehicle detection apparatus is provided with: a tire detection unit (13) for detecting a tire on the basis of a side-view image shown by the image-capture data; a movement calculation unit (14) for calculating movement information in a region within the side-view image including the detected tire; and a vehicle recognition unit (15) for comparing movement information of a plurality of tires detected on the basis of side-view images, whereby the vehicle recognition unit (15) determines whether a tire belongs to the same other vehicle.
