Abstract
A sameness judgment unit of an object recognition apparatus sets a threshold value for a relative distance between the first object and the second object, for judging whether or not the first object and the second object are the same. If at least a portion of the first object exists on a travel path of a vehicle, and the second object exists outside of the travel path, the sameness judgment unit judges that the first object and the second object are different objects, even if the relative distance is less than or equal to the threshold value.
Claims5
An object recognition apparatus comprising:
- a first object detector configured to detect a first object existing in a traveling direction of a vehicle;
- a second object detector configured to detect a second object existing in the traveling direction;
- and
- a sameness judgment unit configured to judge whether the first object and the second object are the same, by comparing a position of the first object and a position of the second object;
- wherein:
- the sameness judgment unit sets a threshold value for a relative distance between the first object and the second object, for judging whether or not the first object and the second object are the same;
- and
- if at least a portion of the first object exists on a travel path of the vehicle, and the second object exists outside of the travel path, the sameness judgment unit judges that the first object and the second object are different objects, even if the relative distance is less than or equal to the threshold value.
