Object identification device, moving object controlling apparatus having object identification device and information presenting apparatus having object identification device

摘要

An object identification device includes an image capturing device to capture images polarized in different directions for an object; a noise removal unit to remove noise in the polarized images using a noise removing parameter; an index value computing unit to compute an object identification index value for identification-processing areas in the polarized images using noise removed polarized images data; an object identification processing unit that conducts an object identification by determining identification processing areas corresponding to an identification target object based on the object identification index value; an environment information obtaining unit to obtain environment information of the object; an environmental condition determination unit to determine an environmental condition of the object based on the environment information; and a parameter storage unit to store noise removing parameters prepared for mutually exclusive environmental conditions. The noise removal unit reads a noise removing parameter from the parameter storage unit to conduct a noise removing.
