Abstract
A vehicle external environment recognition apparatus includes at least one processor, and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to operate in cooperation with at least one program stored in the at least one memory to execute processing. The processing includes generating a distance image from luminance images, specifying, by using semantic segmentation, a floating matter class in the luminance images, and invalidating parallax associated with floating pixels that are included in the distance image and belong to the floating matter class.
