Patent Images
1. An object recognition device comprising:
- a radar that detects a radar-detected object in a vicinity of a vehicle and outputs detection signals;
a camera that detects a camera-detected object by capturing an image of the vicinity of the vehicle and outputs image data; and
a processor configured to recognize the radar-detected object from the detection signals and the camera-detected object from the image data,wherein the processor is configured to recognize that the radar-detected object and the camera-detected object are a same actual object when the the radar-detected object and the camera-detected object are present within a predetermined position range,wherein the processor is configured to determine whether the the radar-detected object and the camera-detected object are the same actual object by reducing the predetermined position range when detection using the radar or the camera is interrupted and then detection is started again.

Abstract
An object recognition device includes: a radar that detects objects in the vicinity of a vehicle a camera that detects objects by capturing an image of the vicinity of the vehicle an identical object recognition unit configured to recognize that an object detected by the radar and an object detected by the camera are the same object when the objects are present within a predetermined position range. The identical object recognition unit determines whether the objects are the same object by reducing the predetermined position range when detection using the radar device or the camera is interrupted and then detection is started again.
