Abstract: A camera device includes image capturing device, a lens cleaning device, an adhesion state assessment unit and a controller. The image capturing device is installed on a vehicle and has a lens for forming an image of the vehicle surroundings. The lens cleaning device cleans the lens by spraying a cleaning fluid on the lens in accordance with a predetermined lens cleaning step, in which at least a supply time for supplying cleaning fluid to the lens surface is predetermined. The adhesion state assessment unit is programmed to assess an adhesion state of contamination from a distribution of pixels corresponding to foreign matter adhered to the lens based on a captured image. The controller is programmed to extend the time until a time to start supplying the cleaning fluid in the lens cleaning step as the number of pixels corresponding to foreign matter adhered to the lens increases.

Abstract: A parking frame drawn on a road surface is reliably detected. An imager (10) installed on a vehicle (1) captures an image (I) including at least a road surface around the vehicle (1). A candidate white-line area detector (30) detects, from the captured image (I), a candidate white-line area which is possibly a part of a parking frame. A parking-frame-similitude calculator (40) calculates the brightness distribution of the detected candidate white-line area and the surroundings of boundary points of a road surface. When the brightness distribution satisfies a certain condition, the parking-frame similitude or the degree to which the candidate white-line area forms a parking frame, is determined to be low. When a parking-frame similitude of the candidate white-line area forming a parking frame is detected in the image (I) by a parking-frame detector (60), the credibility (U) for the detected parking frame is set low.

Abstract: A three-dimensional object detection has an image capturing device, an image conversion unit, a three-dimensional object detection unit, a three-dimensional object assessment unit, first and second foreign matter detection units and a controller. The image capturing device captures images rearward of a vehicle. The three-dimensional object detection unit detects three-dimensional objects based on image information. The three-dimensional object assessment unit assesses whether or not a detected three-dimensional object is another vehicle. The foreign matter detection units detect whether or not foreign matter has adhered to a lens based on the change over time in luminance values for each predetermined pixel of the image capturing element and the change over time in the difference between an evaluation value and a reference value. The controller outputs control commands to the other means to suppress the assessment of foreign matter as another vehicle when foreign matter has been detected.
