A vehicle environment monitoring system for an automotive vehicle, is capable of accurately detecting the movement of an object existing in an external environment of the vehicle, and determining the probability of collision between the object and the vehicle, thereby appropriately warning the driver. A running speed of the vehicle is detected, and a distance between the object and the vehicle is calculated, based on the image obtained by the imaging device. A relative speed between the object and the vehicle is calculated according to the calculated distance. It is determined whether or not there is a significant probability that the vehicle may collide with the object, based on the running speed of the vehicle and the distance therebetween on condition that the relative speed is in the vicinity of the running speed of the vehicle.
A vehicle environment monitoring system for monitoring an external environment proximate to a vehicle, and for detect an object existing in the external environment of said vehicle from an image obtained by imaging means mounted on said vehicle, the vehicle environment monitoring system comprising:
A vehicle environment monitoring method for monitoring an external environment proximate to a vehicle, in which an object existing in the external environment of said vehicle is detected from an image obtained by an imaging device mounted on said vehicle, said method comprising the steps of:
