Abstract:
A traffic light recognition device includes: a camera that captures an image around a vehicle; a map information acquisition unit configured to acquire map information around the vehicle; a self-position detector configured to detect the position of a self-position on a map; a traffic light position estimator configured to estimate the position on an image of a traffic light on the basis of the self-position and the map information; a vehicle behavior estimator configured to estimate a vehicle behavior; a traffic light detection area calculator configured to set a detection area of the traffic light onto the image based on the estimated position on the image of the traffic light and an amount of displacement of the position on the image of the traffic light due to a behavior of the vehicle; and a traffic light recognition unit configured to detect a traffic light from the detection area.

Claim (Index 8):
A traffic light recognition method comprising the steps of:\n capturing an image around a vehicle; acquiring map information around the vehicle; detecting a self-position of the vehicle on a map; estimating a position of a traffic light on an image on a basis of the self-position and the map information; estimating a vehicle behavior; setting a detection area of the traffic light onto the image on a basis of the estimated position on the image of the traffic light and a displacement amount of the position on the image of the traffic light due to the vehicle behavior, wherein the detection area is set larger as the vehicle behavior amount becomes larger; and detecting a traffic light from the detection area.
