Patent number: 11011062Abstract: A target pedestrian who is present within a range of a predetermined distance from a roadway is detected. Whether or not the target pedestrian has gazed at a crossing destination and whether or not the target pedestrian has performed a safety confirmation regarding vehicles traveling on the roadway are determined based on a gaze direction of the target pedestrian. As a result, when the target pedestrian has performed one action of either of gazing at the crossing destination and the safety confirmation, and then performed the other action within a predetermined amount of time, the target pedestrian is detected as a pre-crossing pedestrian who has an intention to cross the roadway. Consequently, a pedestrian who is attempting to cross the roadway can be accurately detected at a stage before the pedestrian actually starts crossing.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2017Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Shinya Kitayama, Hirokazu Oyabu, Masaaki Hirose, Toshiyuki Kondo, Tadashi Kamada
