  • Publication number: 20200076895
    Abstract: A data collection apparatus according to embodiments includes a reception unit, a collection condition data generation unit, a collection condition setting unit, and an acquired data collection unit. The reception unit receives a collection request for vehicle acquisition data obtained by each vehicle. The collection condition data generation unit generates collection condition data indicating a collection condition of the vehicle acquisition data based on the collection request received by the reception unit. The collection condition setting unit transmits the collection condition data generated by the collection condition data generation unit to each vehicle, and sets the collection condition data to each vehicle. The acquired data collection unit receives vehicle acquisition data satisfying the collection condition transmitted from each vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10242475
    Abstract: A driving support device according to an embodiment includes an estimation unit, a rendering unit, and an erasing unit. The estimation unit estimates a running state of a movable body based on an image taken on the movable body. The rendering unit produces a prediction line that indicates a predicted direction of travel of the movable body based on the running state estimated by the estimation unit, and superimposes and renders the prediction line on the taken image. The erasing unit erases the prediction line rendered by the rendering unit in a case where the estimation unit estimates that the movable body is stopped.

  • Patent number: 10124728
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus that processes an image includes an image processor configured to: acquire a photographic image from a camera photographing a region near a host vehicle; derive a trace line showing a moving trace of a path on which the host vehicle has moved previously; derive a prediction line showing a predicted moving path of the host vehicle; generate a support image by superimposing the trace line and the prediction line on the photographic image when a wheel of the host vehicle is turned; and output the support image to a display apparatus that displays the support image.

  • Patent number: 10005392
    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.
