Abstract:
A vehicle includes a LIDAR. An object recognition device: sets a space having a height from an absolute position of a road surface as a noise space; classifies a LIDAR point cloud into a first point cloud included in the noise space and a second point cloud outside the noise space; extracts a fallen object candidate being a candidate for a fallen object on the road surface based on the first point cloud; extracts a tracking target candidate being a candidate for a tracking target based on the second point cloud; determines whether horizontal positions of the fallen object candidate and the tracking target candidate are consistent with each other; integrates the fallen object candidate and the tracking target candidate whose horizontal positions are consistent with each other, to be the tracking target; and recognizes the fallen object candidate not integrated into the tracking target as the fallen object.
