An object recognition device of the present invention includes: an object detection unit which detects, as an object, a thing present around a sensor platform; a processing target object storage unit which stores the object as a processing target object, with a number there of being an upper limit value or smaller; and an object processing unit which, in a case where the processing target objects whose number is the upper limit value are stored, selects an object having a lowest evaluation value among the stored processing target objects whose number is the upper limit value, determines one object of the selected processing target object and an object newly detected by the object detection unit, and stores the determined object as the processing target object in the processing target object storage unit.

Object recognition device and object recognition method

There are provided an object recognition apparatus that raises the recognition accuracy for a surrounding object and a vehicle control apparatus, and an object recognition method and a vehicle control method. An object recognition apparatus receives object data, which is a state value of the object, from a first sensor for detecting a surrounding object; compares estimation data obtained through estimation of a state value of the object, based on recognition data calculated in a past period, with the object data, and determines whether or not the object data is data in a low-resolution state; then, in accordance with the determination result, calculates the state value of the object by use of object data and estimation data and then generates the state value as recognition data, so that the recognition accuracy for an object is raised.

Object recognition apparatus, vehicle control apparatus, object recognition method, and vehicle control method

A line detector apparatus and method on a vehicle for detecting a line on a road with a higher degree of accuracy. The vehicle includes front, right-side and left-side image capturing sensors mounted on a vehicle and respectively capture an image, including a road surface, at the front and right and left sides of the vehicle to respectively generate front, right-side and left-side images. The line detector includes a processor that calculates a line on a road as a first line from the front image, the line on the road as a second line from the right-side image, and the line on the road as a third line from the left-side image. The processor selects one of multiple mutually-different algorithms based on the first to third lines, and calculates the line on the road based on the first to third lines by using the selected algorithm.
