Osamu Fukata,Yasuhisa Hayakawa,Masayuki Takemura,Akira Utagawa,Masahiro Kiyohara,Shoji Muramatsu,Kota Irie +6 more
TL;DR: A three-dimensional object detection has an image capturing device, an image conversion unit, a 3D object detection unit, an object assessment unit, first and second foreign matter detection units and a controller as discussed by the authors.
Patent
Vehicle-mounted environment recognition device
TL;DR: In this article, a vehicle-mounted environment recognition device includes an imaging unit that acquires an image taken by an imaging device; an image self-diagnosis unit that diagnoses contamination of a lens of the imaging device with respect to the image acquired by the imaging unit; an application execution unit that executes an application selected from a predetermined application group; and a fail determination unit that determines whether the lens contamination state is in an endurance range of the application and, if within the endurance range, sets the operation of application executed by the application unit to a suppression mode.
Patent
In-vehicle surrounding environment recognition device
Masayuki Takemura,Akira Utagawa,Shoji Muramatsu,Masahiro Kiyohara,Yasuhisa Hayakawa,Osamu Fukata +5 more
TL;DR: An in-vehicle surrounding environment recognition device includes: a photographic unit that photographs a road surface around a vehicle and acquires a photographic image; an application execution unit that recognizes another vehicle on the basis of the photographic image, and detects a relative speed of the other vehicle with respect to the vehicle as mentioned in this paper.
Patent
Environment Recognition Device
TL;DR: In this paper, an environment recognition device includes an image acquisition unit, a light spot feature amount extraction unit (102), a lens dirtiness judgment unit (103), and a headlight detection condition setting unit (104).
Patent
In-vehicle image recognizer
Kota Irie,Masayuki Takemura,Shoji Muramatsu,Yasuhisa Hayakawa,Fukata Osamu,Masahiro Kiyohara,Akira Utagawa +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an in-vehicle image recognizer effectively detects a moving object from an image even when a lens has grime, by adjusting detection sensitivity according to a white turbidity level (U).
