Vehicle-surroundings monitoring apparatus

摘要

A vehicle-surroundings monitoring apparatus designed to be free from mistakenly identifying a lane marker on a road surface or a guard rail as a vehicle travelling in the blind spot of a nearby lane. A distance detecting section 1 - 4, 6 - 10 detects the distance to a vehicle 5 which is traveling in the blind spot of a nearby lane and which is captured by a plurality of windows as set 12 on a display screen 11. A detecting range restricting section 10 restricts the distance detecting range for each window to a predetermined range to thereby select as a nearby vehicle an object to which the distance is within the predetermined range.
