Road surface marking detection device, notification system provided with the same, and road surface marking detection method
A road surface marking detection device is applied to a vehicle that includes a first camera that captures an image of at least an area forward of the vehicle, and a second camera that captures an image of at least an area forward of the vehicle and is able to capture a road surface region closer to the vehicle than a road surface region of which the image captured by the first camera. The road surface marking detection device includes a processor that, when a temporary stop sign forward of the vehicle is detected by the first camera, executes a process of detecting a road surface marking corresponding to the detected temporary stop sign by the second camera.
1. A road surface marking detection device applied to a vehicle comprising:
a first camera that captures an image of at least an area forward of the vehicle; and
a second camera that captures an image of at least an area forward of the vehicle and that is able to capture an image of a road surface region closer to the vehicle than a road surface region of which the image captured by the first camera,
wherein the road surface marking detection device includes a processor that, when a temporary stop sign forward of the vehicle is detected by the first camera and a road surface marking corresponding to the detected temporary stop sign is not detected by the first camera, executes a process of detecting the road surface marking by the second camera.
2. A notification system comprising:
the road surface marking detection device according to claim 1 ;
a notification device that performs notification to alert a driver of the vehicle; and
a processor that controls, when a distance between the detected road surface marking and the vehicle is equal to or less than a distance threshold and a vehicle speed of the vehicle is equal to or higher than a speed threshold, the notification device such that the notification device performs notification to alert the driver regarding temporary stop of the vehicle.
3. A notification system comprising:
the road surface marking detection device according to claim 1 ;
a notification device that performs notification to alert a driver of the vehicle; and
an inward facing camera that is mounted inside the vehicle and that captures an image of the driver; and
a processor that controls the notification device such that the notification device performs notification to alert the driver regarding temporary stop of the vehicle, when the processor detects that the driver does not look ahead carefully based on an image of the inward facing camera after the road surface marking is detected.
4. The notification system of claim 3 , wherein the processor controls the notification device such that the notification device performs notification to alert the driver regarding temporary stop of the vehicle, when the processor acquires degree of eye opening of the driver based on the image of the inward facing camera and detects that the driver does not look ahead carefully based on the acquired degree of eye opening of the driver, after the road surface marking is detected.
