<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an object detecting apparatus capable of widening detection sensitivity when detecting high-threshold objects and low-threshold objects through the use of two threshold values having different levels and securing reliability in object detection. <P>SOLUTION: When the sum of the number Hth_Num of candidates of detected high-threshold objects and the number Lth_Num of candidates of detected low-threshold objects exceeds a prescribed maximum number Nmax of objects set as a number that can be output as a detection result (step S4: Yes), the selection processing from candidates of high-threshold objects and candidates of low-threshold objects is allotted so as to give priority to selection from the candidates of high-threshold objects to select high-threshold objects and high-threshold objects as detection results (steps S6-S10). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
