It can be managed precisely.
  • the correction process described in the second embodiment may be executed subsequent to the specification of the horizontal axis offset radar in the third embodiment.
  • the correspondence between detection points and the calculation of the horizontal axis shift amount may be performed by a method other than the ICP method. For example, when the nearest detection points included in two detection point groups are associated with each other as a temporary detection point pair, the relative velocity difference between the temporary detection point pair is smaller than a predetermined reference difference. A method of determining the correspondence as a determined detection point pair may be used. Instead of or in addition to the relative speed difference, the received power difference may be used as well. After the correspondence is determined, the orientation difference of each detection point pair can be obtained, and the average value of the orientation difference of each detection point pair included in the detection point group can be used as the horizontal axis offset amount.
  • the temporary The detection point pairs when associating the detection points, if the relative speed difference between the pair of temporary detection points and the received power difference is larger than a predetermined reference, the temporary The detection point pairs may be excluded from the definite detection point pairs.
  • the relative speed difference or the reception power difference when calculating the average value of the azimuth difference, the relative speed difference or the reception power difference is predetermined rather than the azimuth difference of the determined detection point pair whose relative speed difference or reception power difference is larger than a predetermined reference.
  • the horizontal axis shift amount may be determined from the average value of the ICP method or the azimuth angle by increasing the weighting of the misorientation of the determined detection point pair smaller than the reference.
  • the temporary detection point pair when the temporary detection point pair is the detection point pair on the moving object, it may be excluded from the final detection point pair.
  • the azimuth angle tends to shift, and the calculation accuracy of the horizontal axis shift amount decreases. Therefore, by excluding the moving detection point pair, the decrease in the calculation accuracy can be prevented or reduced.
  • the ICP weighting is performed by increasing the weight for the orientation difference of the detection point pair closer to the center orientation of the overlap region than the orientation difference of the detection point pair closer to the peripheral orientation of the overlap region.
  • the amount of horizontal axis offset may be determined from the mean value of the modulus or the azimuth angle.
  • the accuracy of millimeter wave radar is better in azimuth accuracy in the narrow angle area than in the wide angle area, and by using a detection point pair close to the central direction of the overlapping area located near the narrow angle, The calculation accuracy can be improved.
  • the horizontal axis shift amount is calculated using one detection point obtained from each of the millimeter wave radars 21 to 23, that is, it is calculated instantaneously,
  • the horizontal axis shift amount may be calculated using the average value of the rotation amounts obtained using the detection points detected for a predetermined time, and the millimeter wave radar causing the horizontal axis shift may be identified.
  • the detection points obtained while the vehicle 500 is turning may not be used. Since azimuth deviation is likely to occur during turning of the vehicle 500, calculation accuracy of the horizontal axis deviation amount and identification accuracy of the horizontal axis deviation radar can be improved by not using the detection point during turning. Whether or not the vehicle 500 is turning is, for example, whether or not the traveling locus of the own vehicle draws a turning locus using a detection signal input from at least one of the rotation angle sensor 24 and the yaw rate sensor 26 It can be determined by In addition, the detection point obtained when the vehicle 500 is stopped may not be used.
  • the vehicle 500 While the position of the detection point group is stabilized when the vehicle 500 is stopped, there is a possibility that a certain target object is to be detected and the detection result is biased. That is, by randomly changing the detection target, the bias of the reflected wave caused by the target is dispersed and eliminated, and a more reliable detection result can be obtained. Note that whether or not the vehicle 500 is stopped can be determined, for example, based on whether or not the wheel speed input from the wheel speed sensor 25 is 0 km / h.
  • the single axis deviation amount by each of the millimeter wave radars 21 to 23 is used
  • the horizontal offset radar may be identified. For example, when the second and third millimeter wave radars 22 and 23 are offset in the same direction in the horizontal direction, it can be determined that the first millimeter wave radar 21 is in the horizontal offset. Therefore, as described in the third embodiment, absolute axis offset amounts may be obtained for each of the first to third millimeter wave radars 21 to 23, and the result of the determination of horizontal axis offset alone may be taken into consideration.
  • the absolute axis shift amount of the first millimeter wave radar 21 is 0 or less than the reference value, it is determined that both the second and third millimeter wave radars 22 and 23 cause horizontal axis shift. it can. Furthermore, the relative axis deviation amount and the absolute axis deviation amount may be respectively weighted, and then weighted average axis deviation amount may be used to determine the horizontal axis deviation of each millimeter wave radar. By adopting the above means, it is possible to eliminate or reduce the erroneous determination that may occur when three millimeter wave radars are used.
  • the difference between the absolute axis deviation amount and the relative axis deviation amount described in the third embodiment is a second correction reference value, for example, 1 °. It may be executed in the following cases. Further, the correction amount may be changed according to the difference between the absolute axis deviation amount and the relative axis deviation amount. For example, as the difference increases, the correction amount for the absolute axis deviation amount, the relative axis deviation amount, or the average deviation amount of the both is reduced. If the difference is large, it is possible that one of the absolute axis offset amount or the relative axis offset amount is an abnormal value, so by gradually eliminating the horizontal axis offset amount, the influence of the correction of an inappropriate horizontal axis offset Is reduced.
  • the CPU 101 executes the detector identification program P1 and the axis offset correction program P2 to realize the detector identification unit and the correction unit in software. It may be realized in hardware by a preprogrammed integrated circuit or discrete circuit.
