Abstract
An approaching-object detection system detects an approaching object based on images captured by an imaging device. The approaching-object detection system comprises an extraction unit, a distortion correction unit, an object detection unit, and an approaching-object classification unit. The extraction unit extracts a partial image of one far side and a partial image of the other far side from each of the images. The distortion correction unit corrects distortion of the partial images. The object detection unit detects an object from the corrected partial images through pattern matching with reference to preinstalled image information on the object. The approaching-object classification unit classifies the detection result of the object detection unit as an approaching object or not.
