TRAVELING ENVIRONMENT RECOGNIZING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correctly recognize the traveling environment around a vehicle and improve the accuracy in recognition and that in discrimination of an object on the basis of the recognize traveling environment. SOLUTION: The data arranged in the approximately horizontal direction of every line are extracted from the distance data of every region by a horizontal data extracting part 28a of a traveling environment recognition part 28, and the data on the maximum distance is extracted by every window by a maximum distance data extracting part 28b. The shape of a road surface is calculated on the basis of the data extracted by a road surface shape calculating part 28c, and the road surface data is eliminated from the data of every region-on the basis of the road surface shape calculated by a road surface data eliminating part 28d. An object is recognized by an object recognizing part 20 on the basis of the remained data.
