THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT DETECTION DEVICE AND FOREIGN OBJECT DETECTION DEVICE

摘要

The present invention is provided with a camera (10) for capturing images rearward of a vehicle, three-dimensional object detection units (33, 37) for detecting three-dimensional objects based on image information, a three-dimensional object assessment unit (34) for assessing whether or not a detected three-dimensional object is another vehicle (VX), a foreign matter detection unit (38) for detecting whether or not foreign matter has adhered to a lens based on the change over time in luminance values for each predetermined pixel of the image capturing element and the change over time in the difference between an evaluation value and a reference value, and a controller (39) for outputting control commands to the other means to suppress the assessment of foreign matter as another vehicle (VX) when foreign matter has been detected.
