Object detection device

Abstract

An object of the present disclosure is to provide an object detection device that can optimize data transfer. An object detection device (11) of the present disclosure includes: an acquisition unit (102) configured to acquire distance information indicating a distance from a transmission and reception unit (21) to an object based on a time until an ultrasonic wave transmitted from the transmission and reception unit is reflected by the object (object O) and returns; an output unit (104) configured to output the distance information; and an adjustment unit (103) configured to adjust the number of pieces of distance information, which is output from the output unit in each of a plurality of divided periods (S1 to S6) set to divide a measurement cycle (C) corresponding to a period in which the ultrasonic wave is transmitted and received once by a predetermined time width, to be equal to or less than a predetermined first upper limit value.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
