Abstract: An image generation unit generates a support image indicating a reference position of an object. A visibility determination unit determines whether or not a reference range based on the reference position can be visually recognized from a moving body. If it has been determined that the reference range can be visually recognized, a display control unit causes the support image to be displayed, such that the support image without alteration is superimposed on a landscape around the moving body. If it has been determined that the reference range cannot be visually recognized, the display control unit alters the support image, and then causes the altered support image to be displayed, such that the altered support image is superimposed on the landscape around the moving body.

Abstract: A direction identification unit (21) identifies a traveling direction in which a surrounding vehicle travels in a partial region of a region indicated by image information (42) obtained by photographing using a camera (31). A feature amount acquisition unit (22) acquires a reference feature amount (41) being a feature amount computed from a reference image corresponding to the identified traveling direction. A vehicle determination unit (23) computes an image feature amount being a feature amount of the image information of the partial region and compares the computed image feature amount with the acquired reference feature amount (41), thereby determining whether the surrounding vehicle is present in the partial region.

Abstract: A crossing detection unit (21) detects a pedestrian who is about to cross a roadway on which a vehicle (100) travels. A behavior detection unit (22) detects a behavior of a nearby vehicle traveling around the vehicle (100). A stop determination unit (23) determines whether or not to stop the vehicle (100) in view of the detection of the pedestrian who is about to cross the roadway by the crossing detection unit (21) and the behavior of the nearby vehicle detected by the behavior detection unit (22). A vehicle control unit (24) stops the vehicle (100) before the pedestrian when the stop determination unit (23) determines to stop the vehicle.

Abstract: A driving support apparatus (10) converts at least one of a first map (43) and a second map (53) so that the first map (43) and the second map (53) become three-dimensional maps in a same coordinate system. The first map (43) is a three-dimensional map indicating three-dimensional positions of objects around a vehicle (100). The second map (53) is a three-dimensional map indicating three-dimensional positions of objects around an external apparatus (200) that is one of a roadside apparatus (201) and a different vehicle (202) from the vehicle (100). Then, the driving support apparatus (10) synthesizes the first map (43) and the second map (53) after the conversion, thereby generating a composite map (44).
