Abstract

An object detection device includes: first and second transmission/reception units spaced apart from each other and configured to transmit an exploration wave and receive the exploration wave reflected by an object; and a processing unit configured to calculate a position of the object based on reception results by the first and second transmission/reception units. The processing unit includes: a distance processing unit configured to calculate first and second points based on the reception results, and calculates a separation distance between the first and second points; a position calculation unit configured to calculate the position based on the first and second points; a reflection intensity processing unit configured to calculate a reflection intensity indicating an intensity of the exploration wave received by the first and second transmission/reception units; and a position correction unit configured to correct the position based on the separation distance and the reflection intensity.
