Abstract: In a case where a person moves away in a longitudinal direction from the vicinity of a vehicle, a condition for generating a warning is satisfied due to a change in a speed in a transverse direction. Thus, a warning system generates an erroneous warning. In order to solve this problem, there are proposed a target detection system for a vehicle and a target detection method for a vehicle, both of which are capable of computing a final risk level, taking into consideration not only results of recomputing a time-to-collision and an impact point, but also the presence or absence of a target that is detected by a camera sensor. The time-to-collision and the impact point are recomputed, taking into consideration a change in a speed in a transverse direction that occurs when the target moves in the longitudinal direction.
