Vehicle Peripheral Area Observation System
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle peripheral area observation system for observing a peripheral area of a vehicle on the basis of a plurality of images captured with an on-vehicle camera at predetermined time intervals, the system comprising:
- an image acquisition unit configured to acquire the plurality of images;
a moving object detection unit configured to detect a moving object on the basis of the plurality of images;
an appearance determination unit configured to determine if the moving object results from detection of an apparent motion on the basis of motion information of the moving object and luminance information;
a warning suppression region setting unit configured to set a warning suppression region in which a region where the moving object determined to result from detection of the apparent motion is present is masked, anda warning control unit configured to perform warning control on the basis of the warning suppression region and a result of detection of the moving object.

Abstract
To provide a vehicle peripheral area observation system that can, with a simple configuration, detect a pedestrian who has a possibility of hitting against the vehicle by removing an appearance motion due to water vapor or a light source fluctuation. A water vapor region is detected from motion information and luminance information from videos captured with an on-vehicle camera, and recognition of a moving object in the water vapor region is invalidated for a given period of time.
