Provided are: a camera (10) mounted on a vehicle and adapted for capturing an image rearward of the vehicle; a three-dimensional object detection unit (33, 37) for detecting a three-dimensional object present in a right-side detection area (A1) or a left-side detection area (A2) rearward of the vehicle based on image information from the camera (10); a three-dimensional object assessment unit (34) for assessing whether a three-dimensional object detected by the three-dimensional object detection unit (33, 37) is another vehicle (VX) present in the right-side detection area (A1) or the left-side detection area (A2); a high-luminance area assessment unit (38) for detecting a first detection area (A1, A2) including a predetermined high-luminance area within the left and right detection areas (A1, A2); and a controller (39) for suppressing detection of another vehicle based on image information of the detected first detection area (A1, A2), and maintaining or promoting detection of another vehicle based on image information of a second detection area (A 1, A2) other than the first detection area (A1, A2). |
