Abstract:
A monitor system of a vehicle outside comprising:image-measured distance detection means for detecting a distance data between the vehicle and a three-dimensional object existing in front of the vehicle based on information of an image in front of the vehicle; laser-measured distance detection means for detecting the distance data between the vehicle and the three-dimensional object existing in front of the vehicle on the basis of the information of a laser radar by projecting a laser beam from the vehicle; and three-dimensional object recognition means for recognizing the three-dimensional object existing in front of the vehicle based on the distance data detected by the image-measured distance detection means and the distance data detected by the laser-measured distance detection means, wherein the three-dimensional object recognition means coordinates the distance data detected by the image-measured distance detection means and the distance data detected by the laser-measured distance detection means, and makes ineffective the distance data detected by the image-measured distance detection means which exist between two distance data existing in the horizontal direction detected by the laser-measured distance detection means and which are at positions farther than the positions of the two distance data by a first preset distance value when the two distance data are within a preset range and the difference between the distance values of the two distance data is within a second preset distance value.
