An object identification system includes a camera and a processing device. The processing device includes a classifier subjected to machine learning based on the output image of the camera so as to allow it to identify an object. A gating camera divides a field of view in the depth direction into multiple ranges, and captures an image while changing the time difference between light projection and exposure for each range. The classifier is subjected to machine learning using multiple images IMGthrough IMGgenerated by the gating camera as the learning data.

Object identification system

A light distribution controlling device includes a vehicle detector that detects a front vehicle through an image analysis on an image obtained from an imaging device, a region determiner that sets a processing region by adding a margin in a widthwise direction of the vehicle to a presence region of the front vehicle, and a pattern determiner that, in parallel with the detection of the front vehicle, sets a light blocking portion based on a pixel value of a pair of luminous points included in the processing region in the image and determines a light distribution pattern that includes the light blocking portion.

Light distribution controlling device, vehicle position detecting device, vehicle lamp system, light distribution controlling method, and vehicle position detecting method

A two-dimensional conversion unit converts point cloud data Dacquired by a three-dimensional sensor into two-dimensional data with the distance as the pixel value. A convolutional neural network receives the image data as its input, and judges the position of and the category of an object included in the point cloud data.

Processing device for object identification

An active sensor includes a light projector configured to emit probe light, and an image sensor. The active sensor is configured to obtain a first image in a light emitting state of the light projector and a second image in a non-light emitting state of the light projector. The second image can be used for correcting the first image.
