Abstract(in English) As a part of ITS technology, techniques that realize quick update of street map are required. We have previously proposed a method for detecting changes in streetscapes from images captured by car-mounted omni-directional cameras. It comprises two stages; construction of a street image map that relates accurately a map position to a street image taken from the position at different times, and detection of changes in streetscapes from the street image map. To collect images at various times and routes, many cars equipped with a low-cost camera and a general GPS device run freely. In the second stage (detection of changes), a method that we have previously developed detects changes in streetscapes using differences of pixel values between images captured at the same position. This method, however, had many false detections, because of illumination changes. Focusing on the fact that streetscapes vary depending on the time of a day, we propose a new method taht uses correlation between image change and time change. Experiments with 44 data items collected during one year, demonstrate the effectiveness of the new method.
