A vehicle periphery monitoring device 1 is equipped with a first recognizing unit 11 which recognizes a shape of a road in a traveling direction of a self vehicle C, a second recognizing unit 12 which recognizes a position of an object M existing in a periphery of the self vehicle C, an estimating unit 13 which estimates a moving direction of the object M from the position recognized by the second recognizing unit 12, and a contact avoiding process unit 15 which determines whether or not to perform an avoiding process for avoiding contact between the self vehicle C and the object M, on the basis of a relationship between the shape of the road recognized by the first recognizing unit 11 and the moving direction of the object M estimated by the estimating unit 13. |
