VEHICLE-INSTALLED OBSTACLE DETECTING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

An object detecting device (30) scans an image captured by a camera (12) from one side close to the vehicle to the other side remote from the vehicle for detection of an obstacle through pattern matching, so that an obstacle that is close to the vehicle and is likely to collide with the vehicle can be detected in a short time. Thus, the driver is informed of the presence of an obstacle having a high risk of collision, earlier than other obstacles located ahead of the vehicle.
