Abstract
Provided is an image processing device capable of maintaining recognition accuracy for distance, and the like, while meeting conflicting demands such as suppressing the response delay from image input from a camera to calculation result output, enhancing recognition accuracy, reducing calculation load (enhancing processing efficiency), and enhancing response speed. The time of the starting of the processing (S) of a first distance calculation unit () for calculating the relative distance to an object on the basis of current position information determined on the basis of a left or right image and past position information for the object is set to an earlier time than the ending of the processing (S) of an object detection unit () for determining current position information for an object on the basis of parallax information obtained from the left and right images and detecting the object.
