VEHICLE PERIPHERY MONITORING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A vehicle periphery monitoring device which monitors an object existing in a periphery of a vehicle, comprising:
- a first recognizing unit configured to recognize a shape of a road in a traveling direction of the vehicle;
a second recognizing unit configured to recognize a position of an object existing in a periphery of the vehicle;
an estimating unit configured to estimate a traveling direction of the object from the position recognized by the second recognizing unit; and
a contact avoiding process unit configured to determine whether or not to perform an avoiding process for avoiding contact of the vehicle and the object, on the basis of a relationship between the shape of the road recognized by the first recognizing unit, and the traveling direction of the object estimated by the estimating unit.

Abstract
A vehicle periphery monitoring device 1 is equipped with a first recognizing unit 11 which recognizes a shape of a road in a traveling direction of a self vehicle C, a second recognizing unit 12 which recognizes a position of an object M existing in a periphery of the self vehicle C, an estimating unit 13 which estimates a moving direction of the object M from the position recognized by the second recognizing unit 12, and a contact avoiding process unit 15 which determines whether or not to perform an avoiding process for avoiding contact between the self vehicle C and the object M, on the basis of a relationship between the shape of the road recognized by the first recognizing unit 11 and the moving direction of the object M estimated by the estimating unit 13.
