<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus can enhance detection performance by means of existing probabilities, and reduce the time required for image processing. <P>SOLUTION: An image processing accuracy estimating unit 29 estimates image processing accuracy by calculating a size of an object by which the accuracy of measurement of the distance of the object photographed by an on-vehicle camera 4 becomes a permissible value or less. An image post-processing area determination unit 30 determines a partial area inside a detection area of the object as an image postprocessing area where image postprocessing is performed, depending on the image processing accuracy estimated by the image processing accuracy estimating unit 29, and lattices the determined processing area into cells. An image processing unit 31 detects an object candidate by processing the image photographed by the on-vehicle camera 4, and calculates a three-dimensional position of the detected object candidate. An image post-processing unit 32 calculates, in each individual cell inside the latticed area determined by the image post-processing area determination unit 30, the probability as to whether the object detected by the image processing unit 31 is present and determines the presence/absence of the object. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
