When a vehicle starts, a surrounding state is securely provided to a driver. When a vehicle operation detector detects that there is a possibility that a parked vehicle starts, a vehicle surrounding state recognizer recognizes a state of surrounding of the vehicle based on images imaged by a plurality of cameras imaging a plurality of different areas of the surrounding of the vehicle. A parking style determiner determines a parking style executed in parking at a position where the vehicle now parks based on a recognition result of the vehicle surrounding state recognizer. A monitoring area setter sets a monitoring area where a driver is required to pay attention when the vehicle is started based on a determination result of the parking style determiner. A vehicle surrounding state provider provides a driver with information provision in the monitoring area.

A position of a moving object is reliably detected with high accuracy using only an image around a vehicle. A rear camera mounted on a vehicle obtains an original image around the vehicle, a movement region detector detects a moving object from the original image, and a difference calculator detects the moving object from a bird's-eye view image of the vehicle generated by a bird's-eye view image processor. A moving object position identifying part identifies a position of the moving object based on a distance from the vehicle to the moving object detected by the movement region detector or the difference calculator, a lateral direction position of the moving object, and an actual width of the moving object detected by the movement region detector when a detected object determination part determines that the moving objects detected by the movement region detector and the difference calculator are the same moving object.

An apparatus and method for individually detecting NO and NOconcentrations as NOcomponents of an object gas. An NO concentration corresponding value is obtained from a first detection element not having a reduction section. An NO concentration corresponding value is obtained from a second detection element having a reduction section, and having an NO/NO sensitivity ratio greater than that of the first detection element. The difference &#x394;C between the NO concentration corresponding values of the two detection elements is obtained, and divided by the difference &#x394;S between the NO/NO sensitivity ratios of the two detection elements, whereby an NOconcentration corresponding value is obtained. A value obtained by multiplying the NOconcentration corresponding value by the NO/NO sensitivity ratio of the second detection element is subtracted from the NO concentration corresponding value of the second detection element, whereby an NO concentration corresponding value is obtained.

An NOdetection apparatus computes a first NOconcentration NOon the basis of a second pumping current Ip2, and sets correction coefficients a, b (concentration variation correction information) on the basis of the first NOconcentration NO. Therefore, the NOdetection apparatus can set the correction coefficients a, b in accordance with the concentration of NOactually contained in a to-be-measured gas. Since the NOdetection apparatus uses Equation 3, determined by the correction coefficients a, b, for correction of the first NOconcentration NO, the NOdetection apparatus can correct the first NOconcentration NOin accordance with the state of change of the NOconcentration even when the magnitude of an output variation caused by a pressure change changes depending on the NOconcentration.
