Object detection device, object detection method, and object detection program

The object detection device configured to detect an object present in the surroundings of an own vehicle, comprising:

• a noise state determination unit that determines, while the object detection condition is valid, whether the reception state of exogenous noise in the object detecting sensor is a high noise state;
• and
• a noise notification processing unit that, when the noise state determination unit determines that the reception state of the exogenous noise is the high noise state, executes the noise related notification corresponding to a generation of a restriction in the object detection function as a result of the high noise state;
• wherein
• the object detection device is configured such that the ease of executing the noise related notification is determined depending on the running state of the own vehicle.

An object detection method that detects an object present in the surroundings of an own vehicle, comprising:

• determining, while the object detection condition is valid, whether the object is in a detection state where the object is detected, or the object is in a non-detection state where the object is not detected;
• determining, while the object detection condition is valid, whether the reception state of the exogenous noise in the object detection sensor is a high noise state;
• and
• when it is determined that the reception state of the exogenous noise in the object detection sensor is the high noise state, executing the noise related notification corresponding to a generation of a restriction in the object detection function as a result of the high noise state;
• wherein
• the noise related notification is more readily executed in the detection state than in the non-detection state.
