Abstract:
A driving support apparatus ( 10 ) converts at least one of a first map ( 43 ) and a second map ( 53 ) so that the first map ( 43 ) and the second map ( 53 ) become three-dimensional maps in a same coordinate system. The first map ( 43 ) is a three-dimensional map indicating three-dimensional positions of objects around a vehicle ( 100 ). The second map ( 53 ) is a three-dimensional map indicating three-dimensional positions of objects around an external apparatus ( 200 ) that is one of a roadside apparatus ( 201 ) and a different vehicle ( 202 ) from the vehicle ( 100 ). Then, the driving support apparatus ( 10 ) synthesizes the first map ( 43 ) and the second map ( 53 ) after the conversion, thereby generating a composite map ( 44 ).

Claim (Index 18):
A driving support apparatus comprising:\n processing circuitry to generate a first map being a three-dimensional map indicating three-dimensional positions of objects around a vehicle, and to convert a second map being a three-dimensional map indicating three-dimensional positions of objects around an external apparatus, the external apparatus being one of a roadside apparatus and a different vehicle from the vehicle, so that a second coordinate system being a coordinate system of the second map matches a first coordinate system being a coordinate system of the first map, wherein the processing circuitry repeatedly extracts, from a plurality of points indicating the three-dimensional positions of the objects in the first map, three target points, as a point a1, a point a2, and a point a3 and repeatedly extracts, from a plurality of points indicating the three-dimensional positions of the objects in the second map, three target points respectively made to correspond to the point a1, the point a2, and the point a3, as a point b1, a point b2, and a point b3, computes a likelihood when the point a1 and the point b1 indicate a same position, the point a2 and the point b2 indicate a same position, and the point a3 and the point b3 indicate a same position, computes a conversion amount for matching the second coordinate system to the first coordinate system, assuming that, with respect to the target points repeatedly extracted and having a high likelihood computed, the point a1 and the point b1 indicate the same position, the point a2 and the point b2 indicate the same position, and the point a3 and the point b3 indicate the same position, converts the second map, using the conversion amount computed, computes a distance a12 between the point a1 and the point a2, a distance a23 between the point a2 and the point a3, a distance a13 between the point a1 and the point a3, a distance b12 between the point b1 and the point b2, a distance b23 between the point b2 and the point b3, and a distance b13 between the point b1 and the point b3, and computes a sum of a difference between the distance a12 and the distance b12, a difference between the distance a23 and the distance b23, and a difference between the distance a13 and the distance b13, as the likelihood.
