Patent Images
1. An object detection apparatus that detects an object in a vicinity of a vehicle, the object detection apparatus comprising:
- a memory that retains a plurality of parameters used for a detection process of detecting an object making a specific movement relative to the vehicle, for each of a plurality of detection conditions;
a parameter selector that selects a parameter from amongst the parameters retained in the memory, according to an existing detection condition; and
an object detector that performs the detection process, using the parameter selected by the parameter selector, based on a captured image captured by a camera out of a plurality of cameras disposed at different locations of the vehicle.

Abstract
A parameter memory of an object detection apparatus retains a plurality of parameters used for a detection process for each of a plurality of detection conditions. A parameter selector selects a parameter from amongst the parameters retained in the parameter memory, according to an existing detection condition. Then an object detector performs the detection process of detecting an object approaching a vehicle, based on a captured image captured by a camera out of a plurality of cameras disposed at different locations of the vehicle, by using the parameter selected by the parameter selector.

14. An object detection method of detecting an object in a vicinity of a vehicle, the object detection method comprising the steps of
(a) selecting a parameter corresponding to a present detection condition, from amongst parameters prepared for each of a plurality of detection conditions and used for a detection process of detecting an object making a specific movement relative to the vehicle; - and
(b) performing the detection process based on a captured image captured by a camera out of a plurality of cameras disposed at different locations of the vehicle, using the parameter selected in the step (a). - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
