Abstract
An object detecting apparatus that detects an object using a distance measuring sensor and is mounted in a moving body includes a position calculator that calculates a position of the object relative to the moving body, a speed detector that detects a speed of the moving body, a displacement calculator that calculates an distance moved by the moving body, a relative speed calculator that calculates a relative speed between the moving body and the object, a first determiner that determines whether a position calculation in the position calculator is possible, a second determiner that determines whether the moved distance calculation by the displacement calculator is possible, and an estimator that estimate the position of the object based on a last known position of the object, a last known distance moved by the moving body, or a last known relative speed.
