Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the speed of processing related to the presence of objects, while maintaining measurement accuracy of object detection, in an object detection device. This object detection device is provided with: an output unit; a plurality of detection units; a first data generation unit; a second data generation unit; and an information processing unit. The output unit outputs measurement light. The plurality of detection units detect reflected light. The first data generation unit generates first data. The second data generation unit generates second data by extracting, from the first data, a plurality of pieces of second position information, which are pieces of first position information that correspond to representative points expressing the presence ranges of objects. The information processing unit uses the second data to execute information processing related to the presence of the objects.
