The image extraction device includes a processor. The processor acquires footage of outside a vehicle captured by an image capture device onboard the vehicle, extracts from the footage plural extracted images that are images including an image captured at a point in time satisfying a predetermined condition, infers a desired image that is an image most desirable to an occupant of the vehicle from out of the plural extracted images, and outputs the desired image.

A device for setting a target vehicle that sets a target vehicle to be subjected to driving assistance control of a host vehicle includes: a detection signal acquisition device capable of acquiring a first detection signal representing an object by an image, and a second detection signal representing the object by a reflection point; and setting control unit, which determines whether to set a forward object as a target vehicle, wherein if a movement history is not associated with the forward object, and a combination history is associated with the forward object, then as a selection threshold of a first determination parameter for determining whether to set the forward object as the target vehicle, a selection threshold is used such that the forward object is less likely to be selected as the target vehicle than with the selection threshold which would be used if a movement history is associated with the forward object.

A driving assist device includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a control device. The control device does not execute an inter-vehicle distance control under a predetermined first condition upon determination that at least one preceding object is detected based on the output of one of the first sensor and the second sensor without being detected based on the output of the other of the first and second sensors; and an environment of a non-detection sensor that is the other of the first and second sensors satisfies a first requirement for determination of a reliability of the output of the non-detection sensor; and the control device executes the inter-vehicle distance control under a predetermined second condition upon determination that the environment of the non-detection sensor satisfies a second requirement for determination of the reliability of the output of the non-detection sensor.

An ECU as an object detection device and a radar device are mounted on a vehicle. The radar device acquires front-view images containing a detection-target object such as a preceding vehicle present within a predetermined area around the vehicle. The radar device recognizes the detection-target object in time series based on the acquired front-view images. The ECU realizes a preceding vehicle selection part, an irregular-detection detecting part and an association processing part. The selection part selects the object when a relationship between the object and the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition. The detecting part detects occurrence of an irregular detection when a first object selected as the preceding vehicle and a second object not selected as the preceding vehicle are detected based on the object. The association processing part performs an association process of associating history of the first object to the second object when the irregular detection has occurred.
