  • Publication number: 20240371173
    Abstract: To realize a configuration of analyzing a captured image captured by a monocular camera and determining whether an object in the captured image is a real object or a drawing object. An image captured by a monocular camera mounted on a vehicle is analyzed to determine whether an object in the captured image is a real object or a drawing object. An image signal analysis unit determines that an object in the captured image is a drawing object in a case where a change amount per unit time of a FOE (focus of expansion) position in the captured image is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value, in a case where a change amount per unit time of a lane width detected from the captured image is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value, or in a case where a difference between a grounding position of a vehicle or the like in the captured image and a ground level position corresponding to the vehicle grounding position is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value.
