Abstract

A radar apparatus is disclosed which includes: a distance detecting part configured to detect, among plural bins, an existence distance bin in which the target object exists, a direction detecting process executing part configured to execute a process of detecting a direction in which the target object exists, with respect to a distance bin other than the existence distance bin detected by the distance detecting part, among plural bins from which relative distances to the target object can be calculated, if a predetermined criterion is met; an existence area detecting part configured to detect, based on an execution result of the direction detecting process executing part, an area in which the target object exists.
