<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an object detector capable of locating the edge of an object precisely. <P>SOLUTION: The object detector has: a LIDAR 2 for repeatedly detecting the position information of another vehicle driving in front of an own vehicle at a fixed period; a camera 3 for imaging another vehicle driving in front of the own vehicle by imaging the front of the own vehicle; and an ECU 4 for detecting the center position and direction of another vehicle by locating the edge of another vehicle driving in front of the own vehicle by the LIDAR dot sequence transmitted from the LIDAR 2 and a captured image transmitted from the camera 3. Then, the ECU 4 locates intersection points x1, x2 between an object detection straight lineαapproximated to the LIDAR dot sequence and orientation straight linesβ1,β2 at the left/right edges of a rectangular region in the captured image as the left/right edges of another vehicle 21. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
