MOBILE OBJECT CONTROL APPARATUS AND TARGET OBJECT DETECTING APPARATUS

摘要

A mobile object control apparatus includes a movement predictor and a mobile object controller. If a specific object having at least one tire is detected, the movement predictor starts to predict a movement of the specific object. The mobile object controller controls the behavior of a mobile object in view of the movement of the specific object that is predicted by the movement predictor.

主权项

1. A mobile object control apparatus comprising:
an image capturing unit configured to acquire a captured image representing an area around the periphery of a mobile object, the captured image being captured while the mobile object is moving; an object detecting unit configured to detect a specific object having a tire as a target object based on the captured image acquired by the image capturing unit; a movement predicting unit configured to start to predict a movement of the specific object if the object detecting unit detects the specific object having at least one tire; and a mobile object control unit configured to control a behavior of the mobile object in view of the movement of the specific object that is predicted by the movement predicting unit.
