To provide a vehicle exterior environment detection apparatus allowing for improvement of vehicle detection accuracy thereof.SOLUTION: The vehicle exterior environment detection apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: an image width calculation unit calculating a first image width for a target vehicle on the basis of a first image being one of a left image and a right image; a predicted distance calculation unit calculating a first predicted distance to the target vehicle on the basis of the first image width; and a relative distance calculation unit calculating first reliability of the first image width, and when the first reliability is higher than a predetermined threshold, calculating a first real width of the target vehicle on the basis of the first image width and the first predicted distance, updating a smoothed real width by performing smoothing processing on the basis of the first real width, and calculating a first distance to the target vehicle on the basis of the smoothed real width and the first image width.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6

    【課題】車両の検出精度を高めることができる車外環境検出装置を提供する。【解決手段】本開示の一実施の形態に係る車外環境検出装置は、左画像および右画像のうちの一方である第1の画像に基づいて、対象車両についての第1の画像幅を算出する画像幅算出部と、第1の画像幅に基づいて、対象車両までの第1の予測距離を算出する予測距離算出部と、第1の画像幅の第1の信頼度を算出し、第1の信頼度が所定のしきい値よりも高い場合に、第1の画像幅および第1の予測距離に基づいて対象車両についての第1の実幅を算出し、第1の実幅に基づいて平滑化処理を行うことにより平滑化実幅を更新し、平滑化実幅および第1の画像幅に基づいて対象車両までの第1の距離を算出する相対距離算出部とを備える。【選択図】図6
