Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to enable precise calculation of the distance to a moving object that is detected in a monocular area even in the case where the road height varies between an overlapping area and the monocular area. According to the present invention, provided are a parallax-information obtaining unit that obtains parallax information about an overlapping area of a plurality of images captured by a plurality of cameras installed in a vehicle; and an object-distance calculating unit that calculates the distance between an object detected in a non-overlapping area and the vehicle, the non-overlapping area being an area other than the overlapping area in the images, on the basis of parallax information obtained from the overlapping area in the past.

Claim (Index 6):
A travel control device that detects a distance to a moving object using an overlapping area of a plurality of images, and controls warning or braking of an own vehicle on the basis of the detected distance, wherein a timing of operating a brake of the own vehicle or a timing of warning is the same when the moving object runs out from a predetermined horizontal position in a non-overlapping area in the image and when the moving object runs out from a predetermined vertical position whose horizontal distance is equal to that of the predetermined horizontal position and whose height is vertically higher than a height of the predetermined horizontal position.
