Abstract
A peripheral object detection apparatus that is installed in a vehicle to detect a peripheral object obstructing travel by a vehicle includes: a radar that obtains a reflection intensity by transmitting an electromagnetic wave and receiving an electromagnetic wave reflected by an object; and a determination unit that calculates an integrated value of an amount of variation in the reflection intensity within a predetermined section, obtained by the radar, and determines on the basis of the integrated value whether or not the object is a low object not obstructing travel by the vehicle.
