Abstract
An objective of the present invention is to obtain a vehicle-mounted recognition device capable of recognizing an object to be recognized in a shorter processing time than previously possible. This vehicle-mounted recognition device recognizes an object to be recognized from any image of a pair of images captured simultaneously by a pair of image capture units, said vehicle-mounted recognition device comprising: a disparity measurement unit which measures disparity using the pair of images; an object information estimation unit which estimates the present location of the object from a previous location of the object; a concealment determination unit which determines whether the object is concealed in at least one of the pair of images on the basis of the result of the measurement by the disparity measurement unit and the result of the estimation by the object information estimation unit; an image selection unit which selects the image in which the object can be recognized from among the pair of images on the basis of the result of the determination by the concealment determination unit; and an object recognition unit which recognizes the object using the selected image.
