Abstract: A driving assistance apparatus has: an acquiring section that acquires an infrared image capturing an image capturing area including a driver's seat of a vehicle; a determining section that determines whether a flared highlight has occurred in the infrared image in a case where it is not possible to recognize the driver in the infrared image, on the basis of whether a pixel value of a pixel of a portion capturing an image of an area which is in the image capturing area in the infrared image and is hit by sunlight is equal to or greater than a predetermined value; and a setting section that makes waiting time longer than reference time, the waiting time being a time point at which a warning is given in a case where it is determined that the flared highlight has occurred in the infrared image.

Abstract: A vehicle rearward monitoring system configured to monitor an object located behind and above a truck, the vehicle rearward monitoring system including: an object detection unit installed in the truck and configured to detect the object located behind and above an upper end of a rear end of the truck; an object specifying unit configured to specify a position, a size and a velocity vector with respect to the truck of the object detected by the object detection unit; and a collision possibility determination unit configured to determine a possibility of collision of the truck with the object detected by the object detection unit from the position, the size and the velocity vector of the object specified by the object specifying unit, and make a driver of the truck recognize the possibility of collision when it is determined that there is the possibility of collision.

Abstract: A driver assistance device includes an image analysis part that analyzes a captured image obtained by capturing a face of a driver of a vehicle, and an abnormality determination processing part that determines whether a state of the driver is in an abnormal state on the basis of an analysis result of the captured image, and performs an emergency driving stop process of causing the vehicle to perform automatic braking if the driver's state is determined to be in the abnormal state. The abnormality determination processing part does not perform the emergency driving stop process when the level of recognition of the face of the image analysis part is lower than the predetermined level.

Abstract: A driving assistance apparatus has: an identifying section that identifies a degree of likelihood that a driver of a vehicle has a worn article on a face on the basis of one or more feature points of the face extracted from captured images; a deciding section that decides a state determination period during which it is determined whether or not a state of the driver is an anomalous state, and an anomaly range representing an orientation of the face observed in a case where the state of the driver is an anomalous state, the state determination period and the anomaly range corresponding to the degree of likelihood; and a determining section that determines whether or not the state of the driver is an anomalous state by determining whether or not an orientation of the face based on the one or more feature points is included in the anomaly range.

Abstract: A warning control device includes a control device configured to identify a viewing direction of a driver based on a captured image including a face of the driver, detect, based on the viewing direction, distractedness that the driver views a direction different from a front side of a vehicle for a certain period of time or longer, in a case the distractedness of the driver is not detected, accept an operation on an operation member disposed inside the vehicle, and control a display to display an image based on the operation accepted, and in a case the distractedness of the driver is detected, and control the display to display a warning image for warning that the driver is not attentively viewing the front side.

Abstract: The present invention includes: a preliminary photography unit 521 that performs preliminary photography which is photography at a stage before the main photography for photographing the driving state of a driver of a vehicle using a photographing device 1 that photographs a prescribed range including the face of the driver; and a lighting control unit 522 that lights a lighting device 2 for emitting light which is attached to the photographing device 1 or around the photographing device 1 when the preliminary photography is performed by the preliminary photography unit 521. A control device 5 may be provided with an output unit 523 that outputs a message instructing the driver to look at the lighting device when the preliminary photography is performed by the preliminary photography unit 521.

Abstract: A vehicle rearward monitoring system includes: a lower camera that captures a road surface behind the truck; an upper camera disposed above the lower camera in the truck to capture the road surface behind the truck; a conversion unit that converts lower and upper camera images G1 and G2 captured by the lower and upper cameras into lower and upper bird's-eye views T1 and T2; an object detection unit that compares upper and lower bird's-eye views T2 and T1 to detect the object on the road surface from a difference of a corrected portion hidden by the object on the road surface in upper and lower camera images G2 and G1; and a collision possibility determination unit that makes a driver of the truck recognize a possibility of collision when there is a possibility of collision with the object detected by the object detection unit with the truck.
