IMAGE RECOGNITION DEVICE, IMAGE RECOGNITION METHOD, VEHICLE CONTROL UNIT, AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce an operation amount and speed up processing while maintaining recognition precision in pedestrian recognition. PSOLUTION: When an image for a template is subjected to frequency expansion in advance and is used as a template, and an area A10 to be determined is cut out of an image photographed by a camera, the cutout image is subjected to frequency expansion to create a frequency image A11. Out of the obtained frequency images A11, a frequency area corresponding to the outline of the pedestrian is selected, or the frequency image is preferentially compared with the template by weighting or the like, and when they coincide with each other, the image is determined to be the pedestrian.
