2. What are the key benefits of integrating this technology into driver assistance systems? - By incorporating this technology, driver assistance systems can provide more precise guidance to drivers, enhancing overall safety on the roads.
Original Abstract Submitted
the stop line searching device includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires an image obtained by capturing an image of a front side of the own vehicle; a traffic light detection unit that detects a traffic light installed at an intersection in front of the own vehicle based on the image; and a setting unit that sets a stop line searching area for searching for a stop line related to the intersection, based on a detection result indicating whether or not a front side traffic light on the front side of the intersection as viewed from the own vehicle is detected by the traffic light detection unit, when the rear side traffic light on the rear side of the intersection as viewed from the own vehicle is detected by the traffic light detection unit.
