MOVING OBJECT DETECTION APPARATUS AND MOVING OBJECT DETECTION METHOD
First Claim
1. A moving object detection apparatus that analyzes a photographic image captured by an onboard camera and detects a moving object in the photographic image, comprising:
- an imaging portion that captures the photographic image at a predetermined time interval;
a peripheral region detection portion that detects a first moving object of a size smaller than a predetermined size and a second moving object of a size larger than the predetermined size as the moving object in a peripheral region provided on each of right and left sides in the photographic image; and
a central region detection portion that detects the first moving object as the moving object in a central region provided at a center of the photographic image,wherein;
the central region detection portion detects the first moving object and the second moving object as the moving object when the second moving object has been detected in the peripheral region of the photographic image obtained at a previous time.

Abstract
A moving object detection apparatus and a moving object detection method that detect a moving object appeared in the photographic image by analyzing the photographic image obtained by an onboard camera (10, 10R, 10L) are provided. The moving object detection apparatus is equipped with: an imaging portion (101) that captures the photographic image at a predetermined time interval; a peripheral region detection portion (102) that detects, as the moving object, a first moving object and a second moving object in peripheral regions (RP); and a central region detection portion (103) that detects, as the moving object, the first moving objects in a central region (RC). The moving object detection apparatus is equipped with the peripheral region detection portion (102) and the central region detection portion (103).

11. A moving object detection method of analyzing a photographic image captured by an onboard camera and detecting a moving object in the photographic image, comprising:
-
capturing the photographic image at a predetermined time interval; detecting a first moving object of a size smaller than a predetermined size and a second moving object of a size larger than the predetermined size as the moving object in a peripheral region provided on each of right and left sides of the photographic image; detecting the first moving object as the moving object in a central region provided at a center of the photographic image; and storing detection results of the detecting the first moving object and the second moving object in the peripheral region and the detecting the first moving object in the central region, wherein; the detecting the first moving object in the central region detects, in addition to the first moving object, the second moving object as the moving object when the second moving object has been detected in the peripheral region of the photographic image obtained at a previous time.
