OBJECT DETECTION APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an object detection apparatus capable of highly accurately detecting objects.

SOLUTION: The object detection apparatus 1 for detecting objects on the basis of both information by a radar and information by images is provided with a radar detection means 2 for detecting objects by the radar; an image detection means 3 for detecting objects by images; and a determination means 10 for determining whether an object detected by the radar detection means 2 and an object detected by the image detection means 3 are one and the same object or not on the basis of both position information of the object detected by the radar detection means 2 and the position information of the object detected by the image detection means 3. In the case that a plurality of objects detected by the radar detection means 2 correspond to an object detected by the image detection means 3, the determination means 10 determines that an object close to an estimated track of travel of the center of a vehicle among the plurality of objects is one and the same object.
