An object detection device is provided with an object detection unit (12) for detecting a moving object in the periphery of a vehicle (1), and a threshold value alteration unit (13) for altering a detection threshold value (T) for when a moving object is detected, on the basis of movement information on the vehicle. This makes it possible to minimize false detection even under circumstances where false detection would be prone to occur, by altering the detection threshold value (T) so that the moving object is less readily detected during movement, in particular turning, of the home vehicle (1). The detection threshold value (T) is preferably altered so that a greater velocity (V) or a greater steering angle (S) corresponds to the moving object being less readily detected. The detection threshold value (T) may be altered in a stepwise fashion or may be altered continuously, on the basis of movement information on the vehicle. |
