Title:
METHOD FOR JUDGING PRECEDING VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3726754
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid losing preceding vehicles owing to the fact that a white line can not be detected and to perform the accurate selection of the preceding vehicles using the effect of the detection and judgment of a white line by fusion.
SOLUTION: A preceding vehicle on own vehicle lane is selected from forward objects by collating the position of own vehicle 3 on a travel lane obtained by processing image from a camera 2 with the position of the object detected by a scanning laser radar 1. If the reliability of the white line detected by the image processing is low or the white line cannot be detected, the cause of lowered reliability or of the lost white line detection is presumed. A preceding vehicle is selected from the forward objects detected by the scanning laser radar 1 after judging the direction in which own vehicle lane exists according to the cause.
