Abstract
Provided is a signal processing device with which, even when detection objects differ among a plurality of sensors, it is possible to correctly obtain the relationship between a non-shared detection object and a detection object that is shared after fusion. The present invention: stores a first positional relationship (for example, inside and outside a host vehicle lane) between a first object (for example, a vehicle ahead) recognized on the basis of an image captured by an imaging device, and a second object (for example, a white line); obtains the position of the first object on the basis of information about the first object recognized on the basis of information obtained from a sensor differing from the imaging device, and of information about the first object recognized on the basis of the image captured by the imaging device; obtains a second positional relationship (for example, inside and outside the host vehicle lane) between the obtained first object, and the second object recognized on the basis of the image captured by the imaging device; and compares the first positional relationship and the second positional relationship to determine a final positional relationship of the first object and the second object.
