no. 1 approach

[0031] A driving assistance system to which the apparatus according to the first embodiment is applied is installed in a vehicle V (for example, a passenger vehicle). The driving assistance system 1 has a function of assisting the driver in driving the vehicle V based on the picked-up images of the surroundings of the vehicle V.

[0032] In particular, the driving assistance system 1 is operable to determine whether at least one object (eg another vehicle or a pedestrian) is present in an area that the driver of the vehicle may ignore (eg an area located outside the turning path of the vehicle V). The driving assistance system 1 is also operable to perform at least one of the tasks of generating a warning visually and / or audibly and of controlling the operating conditions of the vehicle V based on the result of the determination.

[0033] Note that the sentence "the vehicle is turning," the phrase "the turning of the vehicle," or other similar sentences or phrases include:

no. 2 approach

[0152] In the following, reference will be made to Figure 7 to Figure 9 A driving assistance system 2 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure is described.

[0153] The structure and function of the driving assistance system 2 are slightly different from those of the driving assistance system 1 in the following respects. Therefore, in the following, different aspects will be mainly described.

[0154] The driving assistance system 1 is operable to set the image processing area to the outside of the turning course of the vehicle V for each of the picked-up images.

[0155] Specifically, as Figure 7 As shown, the driving assistance system 2 includes a controller 10A, various sensors 21 , a camera 22 , a display device 26 and a driving assistance unit 27 . That is, the driving assistance system 2 does not include the camera driver 23 but may include the camera driver 23 .

[0156] The CPU 11A of the controller 10A executes various programs stored in the s...

Abstract

An apparatus is configured for setting an assistance region for assisting a driver's recognition of a circumstance around a vehicle. The assistance region is indicative of at least one of: an imaging region of a device for picking up an image of the imaging region, and a particular image-processing region in the picked-up image. In the apparatus, a first unit estimates, based on a travelling condition of the vehicle, a turning parameter indicative of how the vehicle is turning or is about to turn. The turning parameter includes a turning course of the vehicle. A second unit sets the assistance region to an outside of the turning course of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a program for setting an auxiliary area for a driver's recognition of objects around a vehicle. The auxiliary area indicates at least one of: an imaging area of ​​a camera device for picking up an image of the imaging area and an image processing area in each of the picked up images. Background technique [0002] A first example of these devices is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-312898, which will be referred to as the first patent document. [0003] The device disclosed in the first patent document is installed in a vehicle. The device is designed to set the target imaging range of an infrared camera device for detecting heat-radiating objects such as pedestrians. [0004] However, the apparatus disclosed in the first patent document uses an expensive infrared camera device for detecting pedestrians, resulting in an increase in the manufacturing cost of the apparatus. ...
