  • Patent number: 11507833
    Abstract: An image recognition apparatus includes a controller. The controller is configured to perform positional detection and identification for the target in each of the frame images, and extract a first target having an ambience change feature with priority over a second target that does not have the ambience change feature. The ambience change feature is a feature about a positional change of the target that is exhibited when the ambience is photographed from a moving object. The positional change is a positional change of the target identified in common among the frame images.

  • Patent number: 7561180
    Abstract: A beam radiator for radiating a visible light beam on a road surface with a pattern determined according to a predetermined rule in order to inform others of the existence of a subject vehicle. In addition, an imaging device having an effective imaging region for generating an image of an entire subject pattern reflected on the road surface by the visible light beam from the beam radiator. The subject pattern formed by the visible light beam from the subject vehicle and the other pattern formed by the visible light or the invisible light beam from the other vehicle or an infrastructure are extracted by processing the image generated by the imaging device. Then, on the basis of the relation between the subject pattern and the other pattern, it is determined whether the subject vehicle is in a state where attention is required during running.
