ABSTRACT:
An apparatus discriminates a potential obstacle in the path of a vehicle from among various objects in an image shot by a monocular camera. First, an object detecting unit detects an object in the image by applying a saliency calculation to the image. Second, an object discriminating unit discriminates an object from among the objects detected by the object detecting unit as a potential obstacle by applying a neural network method to the objects.
