Image recognition processing device, method, and program for processing of image information obtained by imaging the surrounding area of a vehicle
First Claim
1. A feature information collecting device, comprising:
- a vehicle position information obtaining unit that obtains vehicle position information representing a current position of a vehicle;
an image information obtaining unit that obtains image information in a surrounding area of the vehicle;
a feature image recognizing unit that performs image recognition processing of a feature included in the image information;
a construction information obtaining unit that obtains construction information including information of a construction section;
a construction information storage unit that stores the construction information obtained by the construction information obtaining unit;
a construction completion determining unit that determines, when the vehicle travels a section of a road corresponding to a construction section according to the construction information already stored in the construction information storage unit, completion of construction indicated by the construction information;
a feature learning unit that causes the feature image recognizing unit to perform image recognition processing of a feature in a construction section according to the construction information when the completion of construction is determined by the construction completion determining unit, and that generates, based on an image recognition result thereof and the vehicle position information, learned feature information including position information and attribute information of an image-recognized feature; and
a feature database that stores initial feature information including position information and attribute information which are prepared in advance for a plurality of features, whereinthe feature learning unit causes the feature image recognizing unit to perform image recognition in the construction section giving priority to a feature of a same type as a feature according to the initial feature information having position information in the construction section.

Abstract
A feature information collecting device includes: a feature image recognizing unit that performs image recognition processing of a feature included in image information in a surrounding area of a vehicle; a construction information obtaining unit that obtains construction information including information of a construction section; a construction information storage unit that stores the obtained construction information; a construction completion determining unit that determines, when the vehicle travels a section of a road corresponding to a construction section according to the already stored construction information, completion of construction indicated by the construction information; and a feature learning unit that causes the feature image recognizing unit to perform image recognition processing of a feature in a construction section according to the construction information when the completion of construction is determined, and that generates, based on an image recognition result thereof and the vehicle position information, learned feature information including position information and attribute information of an image-recognized feature.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a feature information collecting program, the program comprising:
-
instructions for obtaining vehicle position information representing a current position of a vehicle; instructions for obtaining image information in a surrounding area of the vehicle; instruction for performing image recognition processing of a feature included in the image information; instruction for obtaining construction information including information of a construction section; instruction for storing the obtained construction information in a construction information storage unit; instruction for determining, when travels a section of a road corresponding to a construction section according to the construction information already stored in the construction information storage unit, completion of construction indicated by the construction information; instruction for performing recognition processing of a feature in a construction section according to the construction information when the completion of construction is determined, and generating, based on an image recognition result thereof and the vehicle position information, learned feature information including position information and attribute information of an image-recognized feature; instructions for accessing stored initial feature information including position information and attribute information which are prepared in advance for a plurality of features; and instructions for performing image recognition in the construction section giving priority to a feature of a same type as a feature according to the initial feature information having position information in the construction section.
