Abstract
A subject is to provide a pedestrian motion predicting device capable of accurately predicting a possibility of a rush out before a pedestrian actually begins to rush out. According to the embodiments, the pedestrian is detected from input image data, a portion in which the detected pedestrian is imaged is cut out from the image data, a shape of the pedestrian imaged in the cut-out partial image data is classified by collating the shape with a learning-finished identifier group or a pedestrian recognition template group, and the rush out of the pedestrian is predicted based on a result of the acquired classification.

A pedestrian motion predicting device comprising;
- a photographing unit configured to take a picture of a periphery of a driver's own vehicle and create image data thereof;
- a detector configured to detect a pedestrian from the image data input from the photographing unit;
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a shape of the pedestrian detected by the detector;
- a storage unit configured to store shapes of the pedestrian in time series acquired by the acquisition unit;
- an. analyzer configured to analyze a periodicity of the shapes based on the shapes of the pedestrian in time series stored in the storage unit;
- and
- a prediction unit configured to predict a motion of the pedestrian based on a result of the analysis by the analyser.
