ARRIVAL TIME ESTIMATION DEVICE, ARRIVAL TIME ESTIMATION METHOD, ARRIVAL TIME ESTIMATION PROGRAM, AND INFORMATION PROVIDING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An arrival time estimation device comprising:
- an image input unit configured to input an image signal to each frame;
an object detecting unit configured to detect an object indicated by the image signal input through the image input unit; and
an arrival time calculating unit configured to calculate a rotation matrix indicating rotation of an optical axis of an imaging device that captures the image signal based on a direction vector indicating a direction to the object detected by the object detecting unit, to calculate a change in a distance to the object based on a vector obtained by multiplying a past direction vector by the calculated rotation matrix and a current direction vector, and to calculate an arrival time to the object based on the calculated distance change.
