Estimating device and estimating program
First Claim
1. An estimating device comprising:
- an image pickup section, provided at a vehicle, that picks up images of at least one of a front or a rear of the vehicle;
a computing section that, on the basis of a position of a predetermined region that is within an image picked up by the image pickup section at a first time, and a position of a region that corresponds to the predetermined region and is within an image picked up in a same direction by the image pickup section at a second time that is after the first time, computes a movement amount of the predetermined region in a vertical direction;
an integrating section that, each time a movement amount is computed by the computing section, computes an integrated value of the movement amounts;
a correcting section that corrects an integrated value at a current point in time that is computed by the integrating section, on the basis of time series data of integrated values of the movement amounts computed by the integrating section within a past predetermined time period; and
an estimating section that estimates a pitch angle of the vehicle on the basis of the integrated value corrected by the correcting section.

Abstract
An estimating device includes: a movement amount computing section that, on the basis of a position of a predetermined region within an image picked-up at a first time, and a position of a region that corresponds to the predetermined region and is within an image picked-up in a same direction at a second time that is after the first time, computing a movement amount of the predetermined region in a vertical direction; a movement amount integrating section that computes an integrated value of the movement amounts, each time the movement amount is computed; a correcting section that corrects the integrated value of a current point in time on the basis of time series data of the integrated values of the movement amounts within a past predetermined time period; and an estimating section that estimates a pitch angle of the vehicle on the basis of a corrected integrated value.

8. A non-transitory recording medium storing an estimating program for causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
-
on the basis of a position of a predetermined region that is within an image picked up at a first time by an image pickup section that is provided at a vehicle and is for picking up images of at least one of a front or a rear of the vehicle, and a position of a region that corresponds to the predetermined region and is within an image picked up in a same direction by the image pickup section at a second time that is after the first time, computing a movement amount of the predetermined region in a vertical direction; each time a movement amount is computed, computing an integrated value of the movement amounts; correcting an integrated value at a current point in time, on the basis of time series data of integrated values of the movement amounts within a past predetermined time period; and estimating a pitch angle of the vehicle on the basis of the corrected integrated value.
