To determine whether a driver's state is suitable state for driving. A vehicle-mounted device 10 includes: a traveling support control unit 30 that senses that the driver is provided with guidance regarding the driving operation; a line-of-sight detection unit 32 that detects the direction of a driver's line-of-sight; a condition determination unit 33 that determines whether a gaze condition is satisfied, the gaze condition including: that, with respect to a preset gaze direction, the driver's line-of-sight faces the gaze direction until a first reference time elapses from when guidance is sensed; and that time during which the driver's line-of-sight faces the gaze direction is equal to or longer than a second reference time; and a driver state determination unit 34 that determines whether the driver is in a state of being able to drive based on the determination result of the condition determination unit 33.

An onboard device estimates a traveling state of a vehicle that may be influenced by the psychological state of a driver, based on an utterance of the driver without the use of various sensors, and includes: a voice collection unit for collecting a driver's voice; a traveling state collection unit for collecting traveling state information representing a traveling state of a vehicle; a database generation unit for generating a database by associating voice information corresponding to the collected voice with the collected traveling state information; a learning unit for learning an estimation model, with pairs including the voice information and the traveling state information recorded in the generated database being used as learning data; and an estimation unit for estimating the traveling state of the vehicle that may be influenced by a psychological state of the driver by using the estimation model, based on an utterance of the driver.

A parking assistance device includes a parking region detection unit configured to periodically detect a parking-possible space in which the own-vehicle can be parked based on a result of detection by an external image capturing camera and a sonar configured to periodically detect the status of surroundings of the own-vehicle, a candidate region selection unit configured to select a parking candidate space as a parking candidate for the own-vehicle among the parking-possible spaces detected by the parking region detection unit, and a display control unit configured to cause a touch panel to display a surrounding image in which a parking position image illustrating a parking position is superimposed on the parking candidate space selected by the candidate region selection unit, and the candidate region selection unit continuously selects, as the parking candidate space, the parking-possible space corresponding to the selected parking candidate space for a predetermined duration.

An image processing apparatus includes: an object detection section that performs convolution computation on an input image based on a captured image obtained by capturing the image with a camera, and that detects an object; a feature map validation section that performs feature map validation validating a likelihood that the input image contains the object on the basis of a feature map obtained by the convolution computation; a time series validation section that performs time series validation validating a result of the feature map validation performed by the feature map validation section in time series; and a detection result correction section that corrects a detection result about the object output by the object detection section on the basis of a result of the time series validation performed by the time series validation section.

A display control device includes a front image acquiring portion configured to acquire front images by a front camera that images a front of a vehicle traveling on a traveling lane, a lane line position calculation portion configured to calculate a position of a lane line separating the traveling lane and an adjacent lane adjacent to the traveling lane based on movement of the vehicle in a period from a point at which the front image is acquired by the front camera, a movement track calculation portion configured to calculate a movement track of the vehicle, a map creating portion configured to create a map, and a display control portion configured to display, a synthesized image in which a pseudo lane line image corresponding to the lane line is superimposed onto a rear side image acquired after the movement of the vehicle by a rear side camera based on the map.

A towing assist device includes a controller configured to assist reversing of a vehicle to which a trailer is coupled with a coupling tool, and a monitor configured to display a periphery of the coupling tool attached to a rear portion of the vehicle with a rear view at least when the vehicle reverses, wherein the controller includes an alarm angle calculator configured to calculate an alarm angle equal to or smaller than a jackknife angle causing a jackknife phenomenon by the vehicle and the trailer in reversing, and an alarm generator configured to give an alarm when a trailer angle between the vehicle and the trailer is equal to or larger than the alarm angle.

An in-vehicle processing apparatus is capable of performing position estimation resistant to disturbance. The in-vehicle processing apparatus includes: a storage unit that stores point cloud data including a plurality of coordinates of a point representing a portion of an object in a first coordinate system; a sensor input unit that acquires an output of a sensor that acquires information regarding vicinity of a vehicle; a movement information acquisition unit that acquires information related to movement of the vehicle; a local periphery information creation unit that generates local periphery information including a position of the vehicle in a second coordinate system and a plurality of coordinates of a point representing a portion of an object in the second coordinate system on the basis of information acquired by the sensor input unit and the movement information acquisition unit; and a position estimation unit that estimates a relationship between the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system on the basis of the point cloud data and the local periphery information and then estimates the position of the vehicle in the first coordinate system.
