Object detection device

Abstract

An object detection device includes a transmitting unit that transmits a transmission wave, a receiving unit that receives a reception wave produced by the reflection of the transmission wave off an object, a CFAR processing unit that acquires a difference value between a processing target value that is the value of a processing target signal corresponding to the reception wave received at a certain detection timing, and a reference value based on a moving average value of the values of reference signal groups corresponding to the reception wave received during predetermined periods before and after the detection timing, a detection processing unit that generates information about the object, based on the difference value, and a setting unit that selects the reference value suitable for a detection distance corresponding to the detection timing from a plurality of the reference values.
