Abstract
A radar apparatus includes a signal processor configured to: derive the target data set of the target, in a predetermined time cycle, based on a reception signal acquired by receiving a reflection wave from the target; detect, based on the target data set, a side wall along a current lane in which the host vehicle is traveling; determine whether or not there is a continuity between a previous target data set and a latest target data set, and in a case where there is no continuity between the previous target data set and the latest target data set, perform 'extrapolation;' determine based on a frequency of the 'extrapolation' whether or not the target associated with the target data set is an upper object overhead of the vehicle and with which the vehicle cannot collide.
