OBJECT IDENTIFICATION DEVICE, MOVING OBJECT CONTROLLING APPARATUS HAVING OBJECT IDENTIFICATION DEVICE, INFORMATION PRESENTING APPARATUS HAVING OBJECT IDENTIFICATION DEVICE, AND SPECTROSCOPIC IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS
摘要
An object identification device includes an image capturing device to capture images polarized in different directions. A noise removal unit removes noise in the polarized images using a noise removing parameter. An index value computing unit computes an object identification index value for identification-processing areas in the polarized images using data of noise-removed polarized images. An object identification processing unit conducts 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 obtains environment information. An environmental condition determination unit determines an environmental condition based on the environment information. A parameter storage unit stores 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 noise removal. A method of identifying an object and a spectroscopic image capturing apparatus are also provided.
