Abstract

According to an embodiment, an object detecting apparatus includes a detecting unit and a non-linear processing unit. The detecting unit is configured to detect one or more object-candidate regions from a captured image. The non-linear processing unit is configured to input the entire captured image or a part of the captured image at least including the object-candidate region to a neural network having been trained to estimate the posture of an object in the object-candidate region and the distance to the object simultaneously, and output object information at least including information on the distance to the object, using an output from the neural network.
