Ground feature recognition device

Abstract

This invention provides a feature recognition device that can efficiently recognize features from information acquired by external sensors. [Solution] The feature recognition device acquires external information from an external detection device placed on the moving object, and also acquires feature location information indicating the location of features in the vicinity of the moving object. Then, based on the feature location information, it extracts predictive information, which is information from the external information that is expected to contain information indicating features, and recognizes features based on that predictive information.

Claims

[Claim 1] A first acquisition unit that acquires external information output by an external detection device placed on a mobile body, A second acquisition unit acquires feature location information indicating the location of features present around the moving body, A recognition unit extracts predictive information from the external information that is predicted to include information indicating the feature based on the feature location information, and recognizes the feature based on the predictive information. A feature recognition device equipped with the following features.
