Abstract

An object detection apparatus includes: a first radar configured to measure first positional information regarding a first object existing in a first scan range; a second radar configured to measure second positional information regarding a second object existing in a second scan range on the basis of second reflected wave of second wave radiated onto the second scan range including the first region and a second region, the second wave being radiated in such a way as to scan the first region in a direction opposite a direction in which the first radar radiates the first wave; and a processor configured to detect a third object existing in the first region on the basis of the first positional information and the second positional information.
