METHOD, APPARATUS AND PROGRAM FOR DETECTING AN OBJECT

摘要

The advantage of the present invention is to appropriately detect the object. The object detection apparatus in the present invention has a plurality of cameras (2) to determine the distance to the objects, a distance determination unit (11) to determine the distance therein, a histogram generation unit (13) to specify the frequency of the pixels against the distances to the pixels, an object distance determination unit (14) that determines the most likely distance, a probability mapping unit (15) that provides the probabilities of the pixels based on the difference of the distance, a kernel detection unit (16a) that determines a kernel region as a group of the pixels, a periphery detection unit (16b) that determines a peripheral region as a group of the pixels, selected from the pixels being close to the kernel region and an object specifying unit (17) that specifies the object region where the object is present with a predetermined probability.
