Movement track detection apparatus, moving object detection apparatus, and movement track detection method

Abstract

An ECU comprises: an acquisition unit configured to acquire two end positions of an object in a lateral direction of an own vehicle in an image captured by a camera sensor; a calculation unit configured to calculate a movement track of the object in the lateral direction of the own vehicle based on at least a center position of the acquired two end positions in the lateral direction of the own vehicle; and a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the acquisition unit has acquired, as the two end positions, both a moving end point whose position changes in the captured image and a fixed end point whose position does not change in the captured image. The calculation unit calculates the movement track based on the moving end point when it is determined that the acquisition unit has acquired the moving end point and the fixed end point.
