Abstract
A mobile object control system has an SfM unit detecting distance to an object imaged by a monocular camera by using the SfM algorithm, a first-stop-position output unit outputting a first stop position, a second-stop-position calculating unit calculating a second stop position closer than the first stop position, and a control unit controlling travel of a mobile object. The control unit controls the mobile object so as to stop at the second stop position. When a predetermined starting condition is satisfied, the control unit controls the mobile object so as to start. The SfM unit detects the distance to an object by using an image captured by the monocular camera after the mobile object starts. When a result of detection of the distance of the object by the SfM unit is obtained, the control unit uses the detection result for control of the travel.
