<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To appropriately give a sense of security to a vehicle driver while driving and further to realize a vehicle periphery monitoring system without requiring a CPU having a high processing capability. <P>SOLUTION: If the detected distance to a detected obstacle is equal to or greater than a preset distance, then a vehicle periphery monitoring system 1 performs an image processing process to acquire the height of the obstacle. If the acquired height of the obstacle is less than a preset height, the obstacle is displayed as a safe obstacle. If the acquired height of the obstacle is equal to or greater than the preset height, then the obstacle is displayed as a dangerous obstacle. The vehicle periphery monitoring system is able to indicate to the vehicle driver whether the detected obstacle is dangerous or safe. Further, the vehicle periphery monitoring system is not required to perform the image processing process on the entire area of the captured image, and does not require a CPU having a high processing capability. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
