Abstract
A detection device for detecting an object includes a camera module, an image processing module, and a radar module. The camera module obtains an image of the object. The image processing module analyzes the image, so as to define the target sensing zone and generate a radar setting value. The radar module is controlled by the image processing module. The radar module is selectively operated in a first resolution mode or a second resolution mode. Initially, the radar module is operated in the first resolution mode. In the second resolution mode, the radar module detects a specific portion of the object within the target sensing zone according to the radar setting value.
