Abstract:
A host vehicle is provided with external environment recognition sensors that acquire forward information to determine that a pedestrian is present in a forward position of the host vehicle using the external environment recognition sensors. In this pedestrian determination method, a front camera and a millimeter wave radar are provided as the external environment recognition sensors. When a pedestrian candidate is detected in a forward position of the host vehicle based on an image signal from the front camera, a matching area is set with the position of the detected pedestrian candidate as the center point. When the position of the object that is closest to the pedestrian candidate from among the plurality of objects detected by reflected waves from the millimeter wave radar is within the matching area thereby establishing a match, the pedestrian candidate is determined to be a pedestrian.

Claim (Index 4):
The pedestrian determination method according to  claim 1 , wherein\n when an angular difference between a detection angle of a pedestrian candidate detected by the camera and a detection angle of an object detected by the radar is a predetermined value or smaller, the matching area that is used when the angular difference exceeds the predetermined value is switched to a matching area that is expanded in a longitudinal direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the host vehicle.
