A control device for a moving body includes an outside recognition unit, a parking candidate position detection unit, and a reception unit. The parking candidate position detection unit is configured to be able to execute a first detection process of detecting an unregistered parking candidate position and a second detection process of detecting a registered parking candidate position, start the first detection process based on an operation by the user, stop the first detection process when detecting that a movement speed of the moving body during movement of the moving body becomes equal to or less than a predetermined speed, and start the second detection process based on stopping of the first detection process.

Control device, control method, and control program

A parking assistance device includes: a candidate line detection unit that detects a candidate line that is a candidate for a boundary line in image data obtained by imaging a periphery of a vehicle; and a boundary line recognition unit that executes a determination process to determine whether or not a difference in luminance between areas on an outside of the candidate line in a width direction in the image data, the areas being on both sides of the candidate line, is equal to or larger than a luminance threshold, does not recognize the candidate line as a boundary line when determining that the difference in luminance is equal to or larger than the luminance threshold, and recognizes the candidate line as a boundary line when determining that the difference in luminance is less than the luminance threshold.

Parking assistance device

Provided is a parking assistance device including a captured image acquisition unit imaging a road surface around a vehicle and an end detector detecting an end of a ground object on the road surface within a detection area in the captured image. A position calculator calculates position information indicating a positional relationship of the end of the ground object. A boundary line determiner determines whether or not a ground object having the end is a boundary line that defines a parking slot for the vehicle. A removal unit determines whether or not a rear end of a ground object determined as the boundary line by the boundary line determination unit is included in a removal range, determines that a ground object determined as the boundary line is not the boundary line when the rear end is included in the removal range, and excludes the ground object from boundary lines.

A control device includes an outside recognition unit, a parking control unit, and a registration processing unit. When the user selects the parking position, the registration processing unit is configured to detect feature points of the parking position, start a registration process of registering the parking position as the designated parking position, including a verification process for the feature points when the feature point is acquirable, inquire of the user whether a registration for the designated parking position is needed after starting of the verification process, and register the parking position as the designated parking position based on a reply to whether the registration is needed received from the user.

A parking assistance device that recognizes a parking stall where a vehicle is to be parked, includes: at least three cameras that take images of an outside of the vehicle; a setting unit that sets, based on a preset setting condition, a camera which is to take an image used for recognizing the parking stall; and a detection unit that detects the parking stall based on the image taken by the set camera.

A passage direction detecting device includes: a detection processing unit that detects a passage direction in which a passage connected to an exit of a parking area of a vehicle extends and the vehicle has to travel after exiting from the parking area, based on a road surface marking provided on a road surface to illustrate the parking area.
