Abstract
A driving assist apparatus includes an image acquisition part to acquire a captured image around a vehicle, a position information acquisition part to acquire position information of a first object existing around the vehicle and detected by a sensor, a detection range determination part to determine a detection range of the first object within the captured image based on the position information of the first object, and an object recognition part to perform image processing on, within the captured image, an image existing in a range other than the detection range of the first object, thereby to recognize a second object that is different from the first object. Hence, a processing time taken for recognizing the second object from the captured image can be shortened.
