    Abstract: An abnormality detection device includes a measuring unit 14c and a determining unit 14d. The measuring unit 14c measures, among a power supply, a capacitor, a load circuit, a switch connecting the power supply to the load circuit, and ground of a vehicle body, which are mounted on a vehicle, a first voltage of the capacitor charged by serially connecting the power supply, the capacitor, and the body ground in a state where the switch is controlled to be turned off. The determining unit 14d determines that the switch is not fixed in an ON state and an insulation resistance of the vehicle is normal when the first voltage measured by the measuring unit 14c is less than a first threshold.

  • Publication number: 20170217429
    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus that is mounted in a vehicle issues a warning to a driver of the vehicle to stop the vehicle in a case where the collision has occurred between the vehicle and an object. The vehicle control apparatus stops the vehicle regardless of an operation by the driver after issuing the warning to the driver, in a case where the vehicle is not detected to be stopped. Thus, while giving a priority on prompting the driver to voluntarily stop the vehicle, it is possible to prevent the driver from fleeing a scene of the accident or the like.

  • Publication number: 20170220890
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a detector, an estimator and a determiner. The detector detects a candidate region of a captured image captured by a camera, the candidate region serving as a candidate for a water drop region affected by a water drop on the lens of the camera, based on an edge strength of each pixel in the captured image. The estimator estimates, based on the candidate region, a circle that includes the candidate region. The determiner determines whether or not the candidate region is part of the water drop region based on the edge strength of some of the pixels in the circle.

  • Patent number: 9709674
    Abstract: A radar device generates pair data items by associating angle peaks of an up section and angle peaks of a down section. Thereafter, on the basis of a plurality of specific pair data items whose positions are close to each other in an angle direction and which are substantially the same in the position in a distance direction intersecting with the angle direction and are substantially the same in relative speed, the radar device derives one representative pair data item. The derivation of one representative pair data item is performed before continuity determination of a continuity determining unit at the same process timing is performed.

  • Patent number: 9709665
    Abstract: There is provided a radar apparatus. A predicting unit predicts a current peak signal based on a pervious determined peak signal. An extracting unit extracts a current peak signal corresponding to the predicted peak signal, from among peak signals existing within a predetermined range of the frequency. A filtering unit performs a filtering process on the predicted peak signal and the current peak signal, and output a result of the filtering process as a current determined peak signal. If the target derived based on the current peak signal is a preceding vehicle existing in front of an own vehicle equipped with the radar apparatus, the filtering unit changes whether to perform the filtering process according to a state of the preceding vehicle.
