Patent 10922561 was granted and assigned to Toyota on February, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An object recognition device installed on a vehicle includes a first camera detecting a first object, a second camera detecting a second object, a ranging sensor detecting a third object, and a controller. The controller sets first to third determination ranges with respect to detected positions of the first to third objects, respectively, and executes fusion processing by comparing the determination ranges. First and second pixel densities being pixel densities of the first and second objects are determined based on detected distances of the first and second objects, angles of view and numbers of pixels of the first and second cameras, respectively. The controller sets the first determination range larger as the first pixel density is lower, and sets the second determination range larger as the second pixel density is lower.
