Abstract

An obstacle recognition device includes: a first sensor and a second sensor, which are configured to detect an object near a vehicle; a calculation unit configured to calculate, based on first detection data on a first object detected by the first sensor and second detection data on a second object detected by the second sensor, an index value for identifying whether the two objects are the same object; a determination unit configured to determine whether the two objects are the same object by comparing the index value with a threshold value set in advance; and a correction unit configured to calculate, when the determination unit has determined that the two objects are the same object, a detection error between the two sensors based on the two detection data, and generate corrected detection data so as to remove the detection error.
