OBJECT APPEARANCE FREQUENCY ESTIMATING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An object appearance frequency estimating apparatus mountable on a vehicle, and being capable of estimating an appearance frequency of an object on an outside of the vehicle in a predetermined estimation area, comprising:
- a frequency data acquisition module which acquires frequency data relating to the appearance frequency in the past, the frequency data including space-time information for defining space-time, and frequency information for defining the appearance frequency with respect to the space-time information; and
a estimating module which estimates an appearance frequency of an object in a predetermined estimation area based on the frequency data acquired by the frequency data acquisition module.

Abstract
An estimation apparatus of an object appearance frequency is provided. The apparatus estimates an appearance frequency of objects, such as pedestrians, in a predetermined estimation area. The apparatus calculates a matrix FPFP by searching an appearance frequency data in the past. In detail, an estimated result that is an output of an estimating module is expressed as a vector. Objects to be estimated are classified into a total of 12 kinds, such as a “man, woman, child, bike, unknown, dog” and a “right, left”. Feature vector of appearance frequency of pedestrians, i.e., objective variables of estimation, is expressed by 12th dimension vector space. Moreover, status information is used as explaining variables, which explain the feature vectors when a feature vector occurs. The regression relationship of the feature vector with respect to the status information vector expressed in 28th dimension is solved by the linear least squares method.
