Abstract

See full text

An object detection device according to the present disclosure, installed in a vehicle, includes a plurality of ranging sensors and each including a transmitter configured to transmit ultrasonic waves and a receiver configured to receive reflected waves of the ultrasonic waves transmitted by the transmitter and reflected by an object around the vehicle, and processing circuitry configured to detect the object around the vehicle based on the reflected waves received by the receiver during a wave receiving period until a predetermined period of time elapses from transmission of the ultrasonic waves by the transmitter. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire an imaged image imaged by an in-vehicle camera that images surroundings of the vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to determine whether a specific object is contained based on the imaged image. The processing circuitry is configured to set the wave receiving period from a first wave receiving period to a second wave receiving period longer than the first wave receiving period when the specific object is determined to be contained in the imaged image.
