Abstract

An apparatus for object detection includes a processor configured to detect an object around a vehicle by inputting a sensor signal into a classifier. The sensor signal is obtained by at least one sensor for sensing the situation around the vehicle, and the sensor is mounted on the vehicle. The processor is further configured to set the degree of omission of computation so that at least part of computation on the sensor signal by the classifier will be omitted when the speed of the vehicle is not greater than a predetermined speed threshold and the situation around the vehicle does not correspond to any of predetermined exceptional situations.
