Abstract

Provided is a resolution control device that suppresses a processing load of output data by dynamically controlling a resolution at time of processing the output data of an external-environment sensor based on a traveling status. The resolution control device processes output data of an external-environment sensor that recognizes a surrounding environment of a vehicle and outputs the processed output data to an automatic driving device. The resolution control device includes a traveling status determination unit that determines a traveling status of the vehicle, and a control unit that extracts an attention region of the output data based on the traveling status, reduces a resolution of a region other than the attention region, and then outputs the region to the automatic driving device.
