Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATION
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 2:
3. A device for recognizing an external environment of a moving body, the device comprising:
an image processor configured to execute image processing on an output of a camera placed in the moving body, aid generate image data indicating the external environment of the moving body;
a recognition processor configured to execute processing of recognizing the external environment of the moving body using the image data generated by the image processor;
a control circuitry configured to generate object data indicating an object around the moving body, using a result of the processing by the recognition processor;
a first recording device connected to the control circuitry and capable of recording the object data;
a second recording device connected to the image processor and capable of recording the image data; and
a time information generation circuitry configured to generate time information,
the control circuitry being configured to record the object data generated, in the first recording device, and instruct the image processor to record, in the second recording device, the image data corresponding to the object data recorded in the first recording device, at an occurrence of a predetermined event,
the time information generation circuitry being configured to add same time information to the object data recorded in the first recording device and the image data recorded in the second recording device, wherein
when instructing the image processor to record the image data, the control circuitry designates a part of the image data to be recorded corresponding to the object data recorded in the first recording device, using the result of the processing by the recognition processor, and
the image processor records, in the second recording device, the part of the image data designated by the control circuitry.
