EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT RECOGNITION APPARATUS FOR MOBILE BODY

In a device () for recognizing an external environment of a moving body, an image processing unit () generates image data indicating the external environment of the moving body. Using this image data, object data indicating an object around the moving body is generated. At an occurrence of a predetermined event, a control unit () records the generated object data in a recording device (), whereas the image processing unit () records, in another recording device (), the image data corresponding to the object data recorded in the recording device (). The time information generation unit () adds the same time information to the recorded object data and image data.
