Abstract
According to an embodiment, an object detection apparatus includes an imaging unit, an extraction unit, an estimation unit, and a detection unit. The imaging unit acquires an image of a plurality of polyhedrons which are loaded, each of the polyhedrons having a marker on a surface, each of marker including a first straight line portion and a second straight line portion. The extraction unit that extracts a plurality of markers included in the image. The estimation unit estimates a region included in the surface by using the first straight line portion and the second straight line portion of the extracted markers. The detection unit detects a region having all corners provided with the markers as a surface of a desired polyhedron.
