Abstract

An ECU as an object detection device and a radar device are mounted on a vehicle. The radar device acquires front-view images containing a detection-target object such as a preceding vehicle present within a predetermined area around the vehicle. The radar device recognizes the detection-target object in time series based on the acquired front-view images. The ECU realizes a preceding vehicle selection part, an irregular-detection detecting part and an association processing part. The selection part selects the object when a relationship between the object and the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition. The detecting part detects occurrence of an irregular detection when a first object selected as the preceding vehicle and a second object not selected as the preceding vehicle are detected based on the object. The association processing part performs an association process of associating history of the first object to the second object when the irregular detection has occurred.
