In an onboard processing device, a parking path when a vehicle, which is a target vehicle, enters a parking place and a parking map including the parking place are obtained by an information obtaining unit, a peripheral environment of the vehicle is detected by a periphery detection unit, a vehicle position on the parking map is estimated by a vehicle position estimation unit, and a drive-out path when the vehicle is driven out from the parking place is set based on the estimated vehicle position, the parking path, and the detected peripheral environment by a path setting unit.
The present invention enables high-accuracy calibration to be realized even when carrying out calibration while traveling on an actual road. More specifically, the calibration device comprises: an image acquisition unit mounted in a vehicle, the image acquisition unit acquiring a captured image obtained by a camera mounted in the vehicle by imaging the surroundings of the vehicle; a feature point extraction unit for extracting a plurality of feature points from the captured image; a tracking unit for tracking, for each of the plurality of feature points extracted by the captured image, the same feature point from a plurality of captured images having been imaged at different times and recording as a feature point locus; a lane recognition unit for recognizing a vehicle lane from the captured images that is the lane on which the vehicle travels; a selection unit for selecting, from the feature point loci tracked and recorded by the tracking unit, a feature point locus on the same plane as a plane included in the vehicle lane recognized by the lane recognition unit; and an external parameter estimation unit for estimating the camera's external parameter using the feature points selected by the selection unit.
A section line recognition device is realized which can determine a line type of a section line in a road surface with high accuracy. In step 301, a feature amount is extracted from an image captured by each camera. This step corresponds to a process of a feature point extraction unit. In the next step 302, the extracted feature amount is transformed into bird's-eye view coordinates which is common coordinates. This step corresponds to a process of a coordinates transformation unit. Next, in step 303, a camera to be selected is determined. This step is a process of a camera determination unit. Next, in step 304, the state transition at the appearance position of the feature point on the bird's-eye view coordinates is determined using feature point coordinates of the camera selected in step 303. This step is a process of a state transition determination unit. Finally, in step 305, the line type is determined. This step is a process of a line type determination unit.
