Abstract: An in-vehicle monitoring camera device 100 includes: an obstacle detection unit 3 that detects, as first obstacles, obstacles detected by a millimeter-wave radar 11 which might collide with the host vehicle; a collision risk determination unit 4 that detects the time before the respective first obstacles and the vehicle come into contact with each other; a distortion correction unit 2 that generates image 2 by correcting distortion in image 1 captured using a wide-angle lens; and a camera-viewpoint display control unit 5 that generates image 3 by cutting out, from image 2, an image of the first obstacle having the shortest time to collision. Therein, a radar chart 31 indicating the visual field range or the center direction of the visual field of image 3 is superimposed on image 3.

Abstract: Provided are a lane separation line detection correcting device/method and an automatic driving system for stabilizing the behavior of a vehicle by correcting overestimated curvature information resulting from an erroneous detection of a curvature of a lane separation line. A travel speed detecting circuit detects, for example, a target travel speed as vehicle sensor information. A maximum curvature estimating circuit estimates, based on the target travel speed, a maximum curvature of a road along which an own vehicle is traveling. A curvature correcting circuit corrects a curvature of a lane separation line input thereto based on the maximum curvature. A control unit controls steering of the own vehicle based on the lane separation line having a corrected curvature. As a result, vehicle steering can be automatically controlled so as to prevent the own vehicle while traveling from departing from a driving lane.
