Vehicle e.g. car, ambience monitoring device, has object extraction process unit extracting image area of object, and object type determination process unit determining object type depending on object extraction process unit

摘要

The device has an object extraction process unit extracting an image area of an object e.g. animal, from an image taken up by a camera. An object type determination process unit determines an object type depending on the object extraction process unit. The image area has an object surface, in which the measure of widths lies in different directions within a pre-determined range, and another object surface is arranged under the former object surface. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a vehicle ambience monitoring program comprising a process unit (2) a vehicle-ambience-monitoring-method.
