Abstract
An object detection system is provided with radar detection means (2), image detection means (3), and collating means (4). The collating means (4) detects a combination of an object detected by the radar detection means (2) and an object selected among those detected by the image detection means (3), which is the closest to the object detected by the radar detection means (S1, S2), detects a combination of an object detected by the image detection means (3) and an object selected among those detected by the radar detection means (2), which is the closest to the object detected by the image detection means (S3, S4), and determines when there is a coincidence between the combination of the object detected by the radar detection means (2) and the selected object as being closest thereto and the combination of the object detected by the image detection means (3) and the selected object as being closest thereto, that the object detected by the radar detection means (2) is the same as the object detected by the image detection means (S5).

7. An object detection system comprising:
-
a radar detection unit that detects an object using a radar;
an image detection unit that detects an object using an image; and
a collating unit that performs collation between a detection result of the radar detection unit and a detection result of the image detection unit, wherein;
the collating unit detects a combination of an object detected by the radar detection unit and an object selected among those detected by the image detection unit A, which is the closest to the object detected by the radar detection unit, detects a combination of an object detected by the image detection unit and an object selected among those detected by the radar detection unit, which is the closest to the object detected by the image detection unit, determines whether there is a coincidence between the combination of the object detected by the radar detection unit and the selected object as being closest thereto and the combination of the object detected by the image detection unit and the selected object as being closest thereto, and determines, when there is the coincidence, that the object detected by the radar detection unit is the same as the object detected by the image detection unit. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)

10. A method of detecting an object in a system including a radar detection unit that detects an object using a radar, an image detection unit that detects an object using an image, and a collating unit that performs collation between a detection result of the radar detection unit and a detection result of the image detection unit,
the method comprising the steps of; -
detecting a combination of an object detected by the radar detection unit and an object selected among those detected by the image detection unit, which is the closest to the object detected by the radar detection unit, detecting a combination of an object detected by the image detection unit and an object selected among those detected by the radar detection unit, which is the closest to the object detected by the image detection unit, determining whether there is a coincidence between the combination of the object detected by the radar detection unit and the selected object as being closest thereto and the combination of the object detected by the image detection unit and the selected object as being closest thereto, and;
determining, when there is the coincidence, that the object detected by the radar detection unit is the same as the object detected by the image detection unit. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
