This object detection device includes: a radar erroneous detection determination unit which sets, as true, a radar erroneous detection suspicion flag for radar detected object information determined to be suspected as erroneous detection; a fusion processing unit which outputs fusion object information on the basis of second sensor detected object information and the radar detected object information acquired from the radar erroneous detection determination unit; and a radar erroneous detection removal unit which removes fusion object information determined to be suspected as erroneous detection. When a fusion object is determined to be an object detected by only a radar, the fusion processing unit sets a single-sensor detection flag for the fusion object information, as true. The radar erroneous detection removal unit removes the fusion object information for which the radar erroneous detection suspicion flag is true and the single-sensor detection flag is true.

A histogram is calculated based on a road surface image of a portion around a vehicle, a running-allowed region in which the vehicle can run is detected based on the histogram, an obstacle region is extracted based on the running-allowed region, and a position of an obstacle in the obstacle region is detected, to further enhance the accuracy of detecting an obstacle around the vehicle as compared with conventional art.

A histogram is calculated based on a road surface image of a portion around a vehicle, and the histogram is separated into a histogram that represents an in-sunlight road surface and includes a first peak value and a histogram that represents a shadow road surface and includes a second peak value to output the histograms, thereby further enhancing the accuracy of road surface detection around the vehicle as compared with conventional art.
