Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. 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, and to 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, and to generate three-dimensional (3D) map data representing the external environment of the moving body;
a control circuitry configured to generate two-dimensional (2D) map data indicating an object around the moving body, using the 3D map data generated by the recognition processor;
a first recording device connected to the control circuitry and capable of recording the 2D map 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 2D map 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 2D map 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 2D map data recorded in the first recording device and the image data recorded in the second recording device.
