Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object detection device including: an imaging unit ( 11 ) carried on a movable body; a first calculation unit ( 21; 22; 23 ) that calculate an observed value of an image displacement among a plurality of images captured by the imaging unit ( 11 ) at respective different timings; a first object detection unit ( 10, 21; 10, 22; 10, 23 ) that detects an object candidate and acquires information of the object candidate; a second calculation unit ( 21, 22, 23 ) that calculates a theoretic value of the image displacement on the basis of the information of the object candidate; and a second object detection unit ( 21; 22; 23 ) that compares the observed value of the image displacement and the theoretic value of the image displacement and determines whether the object candidate is an object on the basis of the comparison result.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An object detection device comprising: an imager carried on a movable body; a first calculator that calculates an observed value of an image displacement among a plurality of images captured by the imager at respective different timings; a first object detector that detects an object candidate and acquires information of the object candidate; a second calculator that calculates a theoretic value of the image displacement on the basis of the infor…
