PARKED VEHICLE DETECTION DEVICE, VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. A parked vehicle detection device comprising:
- a vehicle detector that detects another vehicle included in an image of at least a front of a host vehicle, the image captured by an imaging device mounted on the host vehicle;
a host-vehicle position detector that detects a position of the host vehicle;
a position calculator that calculates a position of the detected another vehicle based on the detected position of the host vehicle;
a vehicle information storage that stores therein information on the another vehicle, the information including the calculated position; and
a parked vehicle determiner that determines whether the another vehicle is high possible parked vehicle based on the information on the another vehicle.

Abstract
A parked vehicle detection device includes a vehicle detector, a host-vehicle position detector, a position calculator, a vehicle information storage, and a parked vehicle determiner. The vehicle detector detects another vehicle included in an image of at least a front of a host vehicle, the image captured by an imaging device mounted on the host vehicle. The host-vehicle position detector detects a position of the host vehicle. The position calculator calculates a position of the detected another vehicle based on the detected position of the host vehicle. The vehicle information storage stores therein information on the another vehicle. The information includes the calculated position. The parked vehicle determiner determines whether the another vehicle is a high possible parked vehicle based on the information on the another vehicle.

14. A vehicle management system comprising:
-
a parked vehicle detection device that comprises;
a vehicle detector that detects another vehicle included in an image of at least a front of a host vehicle, the image captured by an imaging device mounted on the host vehicle;
a host vehicle position detector that detects a position of the host vehicle;
a position calculator that calculates a position of the detected another vehicle based on the detected position of the host vehicle;
a vehicle information storage that stores therein information on the another vehicle, the information including the calculated position; and
a parked vehicle determiner that determines whether the another vehicle is high possible parked vehicle based on the information on the another vehicle; anda management server device connected with the parked vehicle detection device via a communication network, wherein the management server device receives items of parked vehicle information from parked vehicle detection devices, determines, based on the received parked vehicle information, other vehicles detected at a same position by the parked vehicle detection devices as a same vehicle parked at the position in a certain period of time, and processes information on the other vehicles as a parked vehicle.
