Abstract
A moving-body-detecting device is provided with an image capture unit, an image conversion unit, a three-dimensional-object-detecting unit, a turn detecting unit, and a control unit. The image capture unit captures images of the rear side of a vehicle. The image conversion unit performs viewpoint conversion of the captured images into bird's-eye view images. The three-dimensional-object-detecting unit generates differential waveform information based on a differential image of bird's-eye view images taken as different points in time, and detects three-dimensional objects based on the differential waveform information. The control unit suppresses detection of the three-dimensional object based on the differential waveform information, in cases in which turning of the vehicle has been detected as compared with cases in which the vehicle is not turning.
