COLLISION DETERMINATION DEVICE AND COLLISION DETERMINATION METHOD
First Claim
1. A collision determination device comprising:
- a radar detection unit that detects an object in front of a vehicle using a radar wave;
an image detection unit that captures an image in front of the vehicle and detects the object using the captured image; and
a collision determination unit that determines a collision between the vehicle and the object on the basis of a composite target which is generated using a detection result of the radar detection unit and a detection result of the image detection unit,wherein the collision determination unit performs collision determination on the basis of the detection result of the image detection unit, instead of the collision determination based on the composite target, when it is determined that the object cannot be detected by the radar detection unit and can be detected by the image detection unit and the object is stationary in a traveling direction of the vehicle.

Abstract
A collision determination device includes: a radar detection unit that detects an object in front of a vehicle using a radar wave; an image detection unit that captures an image in front of the vehicle and detects the object using the captured image; and a collision determination unit that determines a collision between the vehicle and the object based on a composite target which is generated using a detection result of the radar detection unit and a detection result of the image detection unit. The collision determination unit performs collision determination on the basis of the detection result of the image detection unit, instead of the collision determination based on the composite target, when it is determined that the object cannot be detected by the radar detection unit and can be detected by the image detection unit and the object is stationary in a traveling direction of the vehicle.
