Abstract

A vehicle surroundings monitoring apparatus, method, and program capable of reducing a possibility of overlap between a detection object and a background object in a standard image when detecting objects around the vehicle from images obtained by a plurality of image sensors so as to detect the objects accurately. The vehicle surroundings monitoring apparatus detects the objects existing around the vehicle (10) from the images obtained by the image sensors (2R, 2L) mounted on the vehicle (10). The vehicle surroundings monitoring apparatus includes an object extraction process unit (1) which performs a process of extracting the objects for a predetermined standard image of the images obtained by the image sensors (2R, 2L), a driving environment detection process unit (1) which detects a driving environment of the vehicle (10), and a standard image selection process unit (1) which selects the standard image for use in the process of the object extraction process unit (1) anew according to the detected driving environment.
