Abstract

When a vehicle travels on an approximately straight lane, a distance data diagnosing section determines a distance measuring capability in a survey area in which the field of view of a laser radar overlaps that of an image as to a three-dimensional object. Then, the distance data diagnosing section determines whether or not the image-measured (laser-measured) distance data of the three-dimensional object exists, and when the image-measured (laser-measured) distance data thereof does not exist, the three-dimensional object is counted to the number of three-dimensional objects without image (without laser radar) and calculates three-dimensional object non-detecting ratios of image (laser radar) from the total number of three-dimensional objects to be determined and the number of three-dimensional objects without image (without laser radar).
