PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology to remove foreign matter adhering to a camera installed in a vehicle, etc.SOLUTION: A foreign matter removal control device includes: an image recognition part for detecting foreign matter adhering to a lens of a camera from an image taken with the camera mounted on a vehicle; an air ejection part for ejecting air to the lens; and a control part for controlling a liquid ejection part that ejects liquid to the lens. The image recognition part derives at least one of a distance between the air ejection part or the liquid ejection part and the foreign matter, the size of the foreign matter, and the type of the foreign matter when the foreign matter adhering to the lens is detected. The control part controls the air ejection part to eject the air based on at least one of the distance, the size, and the type derived by the image recognition part, or controls at least one of an ejection amount, an ejection period, an ejection frequency, an ejection pressure of the air or the liquid when executing removal processing to control the liquid ejection part for ejecting the liquid.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】車両等に設置されたカメラに付着する異物を取り除く技術を提供する。【解決手段】車両に搭載されるカメラで撮影された画像から前記カメラのレンズに付着する異物を検出する画像認識部と、前記レンズへ空気を噴出する空気噴出部と、前記レンズへ液体を噴出する液体噴出部を制御する制御部とを備え、前記画像認識部は、前記レンズに付着する前記異物を検出した場合、前記空気噴出部または前記液体噴出部と前記異物との間の距離、前記異物の大きさ、前記異物の種類のうち少なくとも1つを導出し、前記制御部は、前記画像認識部が導出した、前記距離、前記大きさ、前記種類のうちの少なくとも1つに基づいて、前記空気噴出部を制御して前記空気を噴出させる、または、前記液体噴出部を制御して前記液体を噴出させる除去処理を行わせる際の、空気または液体の噴出量、噴出期間、噴出回数、噴出圧のうち少なくとも1つを制御する、異物除去制御装置とする。【選択図】図1
