An object recognition apparatus groups reflection points detected by a radar device, and recognizes an object around the own vehicle, based on a radar-based target detected using the grouped plurality of reflection points and an image-based target detected using an image captured by an image capturing device. The object recognition apparatus includes a reflection point acquiring unit that acquires reflection point information related to the grouped plurality of reflection points, and an object determining unit that determines that a plurality of objects have been detected as a single object by the radar device, based on the reflection point information acquired by the reflection point acquiring unit and the information on the image-based target, if the image-based target detected by the imaging device includes an image-only target not detected by the radar device.
An object recognition apparatus that groups reflection points detected by a radar device, and recognizes an object around an own vehicle which is a first vehicle, based on a radar-based target that is detected using the grouped plurality of reflection points and an image-based target that is detected using an image captured by an imaging device, comprising:
