PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle detector preventing braking lamps of a preceding vehicle from being erroneously recognized in an image obtained by imaging a view in front of the vehicle. SOLUTION: An onboard camera 10 installed in an own vehicle is provided to image view in front of the own vehicle. Red areas in the picked-up image are extracted, and when a shape obtained by connecting the extracted red areas is an approximately isosceles triangle with the red areas as vertexes, an object having the red areas is recognized as the preceding vehicle. The object is recognized as the preceding vehicle when all of a high mount stop lamp and a pair of braking lamps, are provided, so that the possibility of erroneously recognizing the preceding vehicle can be remarkably reduced.
