An information providing deviceof a motorcycle includes: an image acquisition sectionthat acquires an image of a road; a lane detection sectionthat detects a lane from the image and detects a radius of curvature of the detected lane and a lateral distance from the host vehicle to the lane; a host vehicle trajectory curvature calculation sectionthat calculates a radius of curvature of a host vehicle trajectory on the basis of the radius of curvature of the lane and the lateral distance; a vehicle speed acquisition sectionthat acquires a vehicle speed of the host vehicle; an inclination angle calculation sectionthat calculates an inclination angle of the host vehicle on the basis of the radius of curvature of the host vehicle trajectory and the vehicle speed.

Information providing device and program for motorcycle

The invention has a purpose of providing an image-recognition device capable of appropriately performing image recognition even when a vehicle body is tilted, and a method for controlling the same. An image-recognition deviceis mounted in the vehicle body and recognizes a surrounding situation of the vehicle body on the basis of image data that corresponds to an image of surroundings captured from the vehicle body. The image-recognition deviceincludes: a tilt-detection sectionthat detects a tilt of the vehicle body; an image-rotation sectionthat rotates the image data for correction in accordance with the tilt detected by the tilt-detection section; and an image-recognition sectionthat recognizes the surrounding situation of the vehicle body on the basis of corrected image data that is generated when the image-rotation sectionrotates the image data for the correction.
