Abstract
A vehicle detecting device includes a region setting unit that sets a plurality of regions of interest having different ranges on image data acquired from an image capturing device that captures an image of a space in front of a host vehicle; and a vehicle determining unit that determines, for each of the regions of interest, presence of a front vehicle based on a luminous point present in the region and that executes a determination at different frequencies in the respective regions of interest.
Claims19
A vehicle detecting device, comprising:
- a region setting unit that sets a plurality of regions of interest having different ranges on image data acquired from an image capturing device that captures an image of a space in front of a host vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle determining unit that determines, for each of the regions of interest, presence of a front vehicle based on a luminous point present in the region and that executes a determination at different frequencies in the respective regions of interest.
A vehicle detecting device, comprising:
- a region setting unit that sets a side region on image data acquired from an image capturing device that captures an image of a space in front of a host vehicle, the side region being located in a left side and/or a right side of the image data;
- and
- a vehicle determining unit that determines a passing vehicle based on a luminous point present in the side region in accordance with a determination standard for a tail lamp of another vehicle passing the host vehicle.
A vehicle detecting device, comprising:
- a region setting unit that sets an oncoming vehicle region based on a preceding vehicle at a predetermined distance on image data acquired from an image capturing device that captures an image of a space in front of a host vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle determining unit that determines that a luminous point present in the oncoming vehicle region represents an oncoming vehicle.
A vehicle detecting device, comprising:
- a region setting unit that sets a center region including a center of image data on the image data acquired from an image capturing device that captures an image of a space in front of a host vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle determining unit that determines that a luminous point present in the center region represents a front vehicle at a predetermined distance.
