Abstract

A camera calibration device includes: a storage unit configured to store an allowable range of a camera position posture including at least one of a position and an angle of an in-vehicle camera in association with a reference riding pattern that is a reference of an occupant's riding pattern with respect to a vehicle; an acquisition unit configured to acquire the riding pattern and the camera position posture at a preset timing; and a control unit configured to execute at least one of notification of optical axis deviation of the in-vehicle camera and correction of the optical axis deviation when the acquired camera position posture is not within the allowable range associated with the reference riding pattern that matches the acquired riding pattern in the storage unit.

Claims (13)

1. A camera calibration device comprising:

a storage unit configured to store an allowable range of a camera position posture including at least one of a position and an angle of an in-vehicle camera in association with a reference riding pattern that is a reference of an occupant's riding pattern with respect to a vehicle;

an acquisition unit configured to acquire the riding pattern and the camera position posture at a preset timing; and

a control unit configured to execute at least one of notification of optical axis deviation of the in-vehicle camera and correction of the optical axis deviation when the acquired camera position posture is not within the allowable range associated with the reference riding pattern that matches the acquired riding pattern in the storage unit.

2. The camera calibration device according to claim 1 , wherein

the acquisition unit acquires the riding pattern based on a detection result of a sensor that detects an occupant in the vehicle.

3. The camera calibration device according to claim 1 , wherein

the storage unit further stores a registered riding pattern that is the riding pattern acquired at a preset number of times or more and a registered camera position posture that is the camera position posture in the registered riding pattern in association with each other, and

the control unit corrects the optical axis deviation when the acquired camera position posture does not match the registered camera position posture associated with the registered riding pattern that matches the acquired riding pattern in the storage unit.

4. A camera calibration device comprising:

a storage unit configured to store an allowable range of a camera position posture including at least one of a position and an angle of an in-vehicle camera that occurs according to arrangement of an occupant in a vehicle;

an acquisition unit configured to acquire the camera position posture at a preset timing; and

a control unit configured to execute at least one of notification of optical axis deviation of the in-vehicle camera and correction of the optical axis deviation when the acquired camera position posture is not within the allowable range stored in the storage unit.
