Abstract: A risk prediction method is executed by a computer of a risk predictor using a convolutional neural network. The method includes making the convolutional neural network acquire an input image taken by an in-vehicle camera installed on a vehicle. The method also includes making the convolutional neural network estimate a risk area and a feature of the risk area, the risk area being in the acquired input image. The risk area has a possibility that a moving object may appear from the risk area into a travelling path of the vehicle, and the moving object may collide with the vehicle in a case where the vehicle simply continues running. The method further includes making the convolutional neural network output the estimated risk area and the estimated feature of the risk area as a risk predicted for the input image.
