Abstract

There is provided an object alarm device and an object alarm method, which can surely alarm a driver of a high-risk target object. The object alarm device according to the embodiment includes a detecting unit, a selecting unit and, an alarm information generating unit. The detecting unit detects one or more objects from images captured on a movable body. The selecting unit selects a moving object and a still object from among the objects detected by the detecting unit, in which the still object has a contact possibility with the movable body. The alarm information generating unit generates alarm information on the objects selected by the selecting unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An object alarm device comprising:
a detecting unit configured to detect one or more objects from images captured on a movable body; a selecting unit configured to select a moving object and a still object from among the objects detected by the detecting unit, the still object having a contact possibility with the movable body; and an alarm information generating unit configured to generate alarm information on the objects selected by the selecting unit.

2 . The object alarm device according to claim 1 , wherein the selecting unit selects the still object that is located in a moving direction and in a moving range of the movable body.

3 . The object alarm device according to claim 1 , wherein the selecting unit selects, when the detecting unit detects the objects, a predetermined number of the objects from among the detected objects.

4 . The object alarm device according to claim 2 , wherein the selecting unit selects, when the detecting unit detects the objects, a predetermined number of the objects from among the detected objects.

5 . The object alarm device according to claim 1 , wherein the alarm information generating unit generates the alarm information that is obtained by emphasizing a base of a frame that encloses each of the one or more objects detected by the detecting unit.

6 . The object alarm device according to claim 2 , wherein the alarm information generating unit generates the alarm information that is obtained by emphasizing a base of a frame that encloses each of the one or more objects detected by the detecting unit.

7 . The object alarm device according to claim 3 , wherein the alarm information generating unit generates the alarm information that is obtained by emphasizing a base of a frame that encloses each of the one or more objects detected by the detecting unit.

8 . The object alarm device according to claim 4 , wherein the alarm information generating unit generates the alarm information that is obtained by emphasizing a base of a frame that encloses each of the one or more objects detected by the detecting unit.

9 . The object alarm device according to claim 5 , wherein the alarm information generating unit generates the alarm information that is obtained by changing a display mode of the base on a basis of a distance between the movable body and each of the one or more objects detected by the detecting unit.

10 . The object alarm device according to claim 6 , wherein the alarm information generating unit generates the alarm information that is obtained by changing a display mode of the base on a basis of a distance between the movable body and each of the one or more objects detected by the detecting unit.

11 . The object alarm device according to claim 7 , wherein the alarm information generating unit generates the alarm information that is obtained by changing a display mode of the base on a basis of a distance between the movable body and each of the one or more objects detected by the detecting unit.

12 . The object alarm device according to claim 8 , wherein the alarm information generating unit generates the alarm information that is obtained by changing a display mode of the base on a basis of a distance between the movable body and each of the one or more objects detected by the detecting unit.

13 . An object alarm method comprising:
detecting one or more objects from images captured on a movable body; selecting a moving object and a still object from among the detected objects, the still object having a contact possibility with the movable body; and generating alarm information on the selected objects.
