  • Patent number: 11256933
    Abstract: An image processing device includes: a delimiting line detection unit configured to detect a delimiting line candidate based on image data obtained by capturing a surrounding of a vehicle; an exclusion determination unit configured to determine whether there is a parking-unavailable area in which parking of the vehicle is not permitted; and a parking space detection unit configured to detect the parking space based on the delimiting line candidate. In a case where plural parallel lines that are adjacent to the delimiting line candidate and that have a predetermined angle to the delimiting line candidate is detected, the exclusion determination unit regards an area in which the plural parallel lines are provided as the parking-unavailable area, and prohibits the parking space detection unit from detecting the parking space across the delimiting line candidate adjacent to the parking-unavailable area.

  • Patent number: 11195032
    Abstract: An image processing device includes: a delimiting line detection unit configured to detect a delimiting line candidate based on image data obtained by capturing a surrounding of a vehicle, the delimiting line candidate being a candidate of a delimiting line that delimits a parking space; and an exclusion determination unit configured to determine whether or not to exclude the delimiting line candidate detected by the delimiting line detection unit from the candidate of the delimiting line. In a case where a plurality of the delimiting line candidates is detected within a predetermined range in the image data, the exclusion determination unit determines whether or not to exclude the delimiting line candidate from the candidate of the delimiting line by comparing edge strength of the plurality of delimiting line candidates.
