Obstacle information acquisition system technical field
There is provided a technique for acquiring information on an obstacle regardless of whether an operation of avoiding the obstacle has been performed. An obstacle information acquisition system includes an image obtaining part that obtains a shot image of a road on which a vehicle is traveling; an image recognizing part that detects an obstacle on a road and a lane from the image; and an obstacle information acquiring part that acquires obstacle information in which a location of the obstacle is associated with the image, based on a passable width of a lane where the obstacle is located in the image.
1 . An obstacle information acquisition system comprising:
an image obtaining part that obtains a shot image of a road on which a vehicle is traveling;
an image recognizing part disposed on the vehicle that detects an obstacle on a road and a lane from the image;
an obstacle information acquiring part that acquires obstacle information in which a location of the obstacle is associated with the image, based on a passable width of a lane where the obstacle is located in the image, and the obstacle information is not acquired when the passable width is greater than a preset value; and
a guidance control part that allows a guidance part to provide guidance, based on the obstacle information,
wherein
the guidance control part allows a guidance vehicle that travels in the lane where the obstacle is located and that has not yet passed through the location of the obstacle to:
acquire the obstacle information including the location of the obstacle on a road and information indicating the passable width of the lane where the obstacle is located; and
provide guidance on the obstacle, based on the location of the obstacle and the passable width,
wherein the guidance vehicle and the vehicle are different vehicles, and based on the position of the obstacle and the current position of the guidance vehicle, it is determined whether the guidance vehicle is traveling on the lane where the obstacle is located and whether the obstacle position has not yet been passed.
2 . The obstacle information acquisition system according to claim 1 , wherein
the passable width is a width of a portion of the lane where the obstacle is located that is not occupied by the obstacle out of a full width of the lane, and
when the passable width is less than or equal to a preset value, the obstacle information is acquired.
3 . The obstacle information acquisition system according to claim 1 , wherein when a height of the obstacle is less than or equal to a reference height, the obstacle information is not acquired.
4 . An obstacle information acquisition system comprising:
an image obtaining part that obtains a shot image of a road on which a vehicle is traveling;
an image recognizing part disposed on the vehicle that detects an obstacle on a road and a lane from the image;
an obstacle information acquiring part that acquires obstacle information in which a location of the obstacle is associated with the image, based on a passable width of a lane where the obstacle is located in the image, and the obstacle information is not acquired when the passable width is greater than a preset value; and
a guidance control part that allows a guidance part to provide guidance, based on the obstacle information,
wherein
the guidance control part allows a guidance vehicle that travels in the lane where the obstacle is located and that has not yet passed through the location of the obstacle to:
provide notification of presence of the obstacle; and
provide lane change guidance to use, as a recommended lane, a lane other than the lane where the obstacle is located, when a passing width of the guidance vehicle is greater than the passable width,
wherein the guidance vehicle and the vehicle are different vehicles, and based on the position of the obstacle and the current position of the guidance vehicle, it is determined whether the guidance vehicle is traveling on the lane where the obstacle is located and whether the obstacle position has not yet been passed.
5 . The obstacle information acquisition system according to claim 4 , wherein
the passable width is a width of a portion of the lane where the obstacle is located that is not occupied by the obstacle out of a full width of the lane, and
when the passable width is less than or equal to a preset value, the obstacle information is acquired.
6 . The obstacle information acquisition system according to claim 4 , wherein when a height of the obstacle is less than or equal to a reference height, the obstacle information is not acquired.
