Abstract
A monitor system of a vehicle outside includes an image-measured distance detector for detecting a distance between a vehicle and a three-dimensional object existing in front of the vehicle based on information of an image in front of the vehicle, a laser-measured distance detector for detecting the distance between the vehicle and the three-dimensional object existing in front of the vehicle on the basis of the information of a laser radar for projecting a laser beam from the vehicle, and a final distance setting unit for finally setting the distance between the vehicle and the three-dimensional object existing in front of the vehicle according to the distance detected the image-measured distance detector and the distance detected by the laser-measured distance detector.
