Abstract
An image recognizing device includes an image storing portion, a cylindrical distortion correcting portion, a vertical edge extracting portion; a column candidate extracting portion, a pole candidate evaluating portion, a pole foot position setting portion, a movement distance acquiring portion, a detected distance difference calculating portion, and a pole identifying portion. When the vehicle is moving toward a pole candidate, the movement distance acquiring portion acquires a movement distance moved by the vehicle during a prescribed time interval, and the detected distance difference calculating portion calculates a detected distance difference between a starting detected distance and an ending detected distance for the prescribed time interval. The pole identifying portion identifies that a pole candidate wherein the absolute value of the difference between the movement distance and the detected distance difference is less than a threshold value as being a pole that has a pole foot position that contacts the ground.
