Monitoring device for inspecting a motor vehicle's surroundings uses a picture taken by an infrared imaging-device to extract a body in the vehicle's surroundings as an object

摘要

If the upper end position (OBJTOP) of a binary-represented object/person (OB) and an edge-detection position (jFLTOP) are in nearly the same position, then a horizontal edge's maximum height position is defined, at which decrease in luminance value is relatively steep, i.e. almost the same position where the upper end position is detected for the binary-represented object/person.
