<p>When a pedestrian candidate (62) and an animal candidate (162) that are detected from an image imaged by an imaging device (16) mounted in a vehicle (12) are in a specified relationship in said image (such as existing nearby), the animal candidate (162) is considered to be an item related to the pedestrian candidate (62), in other words, a pair object (Pobj). Attention-arousing output directed at the animal candidate (162) configuring the pair object (Pobj) is not generated. Therefore, a vehicle vicinity monitoring device (10) is provided that reduces the frequency of attention-arousing directed at an animal (for example, a small animal such as a dog) being walked by a human.</p> |
