Abstract

Provided is a driving assist device 10 that recognizes an object in the vicinity of a moving body, and assists a driver in driving the moving body, the apparatus including: an object detecting unit 12 that detects the object in the vicinity of the moving body; a three dimensional object detecting unit 13 that detects a three dimensional object in the vicinity of the moving body; and an object recognition unit 18 that recognizes the object at a predetermined detection position as a non-obstacle when the object information storing unit 16 stores the position of the object, and the three dimensional object information storing unit 17 does not store the position of the three dimensional object at the predetermined position in which detection is performed by both of the object detecting unit 12 and the three dimensional object detecting unit 13.

Claims (9)

1. A driving assist device that recognizes an object in the vicinity of a moving body, and assists a driver in driving the moving body, the driving assist device comprising:

an object detecting unit that detects the object in the vicinity of the moving body;

an information generating unit that generates information indicative of a moving history of the detected object;

a history information storing unit that stores the information generated by the information generating unit as history information;

an object recognition unit that determines that the detected object is a moving object if the detected object is in motion, and determines that the detected object is a moving object if the detected object is not in motion and has moved previously, based on the history information obtained from the history information storing unit;

a fixed object information storing unit that stores a position of a non-obstacle as a fixed object information; and

wherein when the object recognition unit determines a position of the detected object coincides with the position of the non-obstacle, and recognizes the detected object is not the moving object, the object recognition unit recognizes the object as the non-obstacle, and when the object recognition unit determines the position of the detected object coincides with the position of the non-obstacle, and recognizes the detected object is the moving object, the object recognition unit does not recognize the object as the non-obstacle.

2. The driving assist device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the history information storing unit deletes the history information that is not updated during a predetermined period.
