IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

An image processing device includes an imaging device and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit includes a first extraction unit, a disparity calculation unit, a second extraction unit, and an object determination unit. The first extraction unit extracts a main area based on image data captured by the imaging device, the main area being an image area including a candidate for a target. The second extraction unit extracts a candidate area from the main area based on the disparity. The object determination unit determines whether an image of the candidate area is an image of the target. An extraction of the candidate area from a lower part area is restricted more strictly than that from an upper part area. The lower part area is provided below a predetermined position in the main area. The upper part area is provided above the predetermined position in the main area.

1. An image processing device comprising:
an imaging device configured to capture an image of surroundings; and an electronic control unit that includes
a first extraction unit configured to extract a main area based on image data captured by the imaging device, the main area being an image area including a candidate for a target;a disparity calculation unit configured to calculate a disparity based on image data captured by the imaging device;a second extraction unit configured to extract a candidate area from the main area based on the disparity, the candidate area being an image area of the candidate; andan object determination unit configured to determine whether an image of the candidate area is an image of the target by comparing a shape of the candidate area and a predetermined shape of the target, wherein an extraction of the candidate area from a lower part area in the main area is restricted more strictly than an extraction of the candidate area from an upper part area in the main area, the lower part area constitutes a lower part of the main area and is provided below a predetermined position in the main area, and the upper part area constitutes an upper part of the main area and is provided above the predetermined position in the main area.
