Title:

OBSTACLE DETECTION METHOD, OBSTACLE DETECTION DEVICE, AND STANDARD MOBILE BODY MODEL

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/100000

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

An obstacle detection method, an obstacle detection device, and a standard mobile body mode, where, even if there is a shielded portion where a vehicle mounted sensor cannot detect an obstacle, the shielded portion can be appropriately processed. Even if areas (41L, 42), where a vehicle (43) is movable, includes a shielded area (47) where a sensor mounted on the vehicle (43) cannot detect an object, a possibility of presence of an obstacle in the area is assumed. In a situation where the obstacle can be present in the area, unconfirmed objects (46f-46h) are arranged in the shielded area (47) as obstacle candidates. This enables environmental prediction to be performed by using the unconfirmed objects (46f-46h) as the obstacle candidates, realizing safe automated driving etc.
