Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an object detecting device which is capable of accurately detecting an object even far away, and of shortening processing time. Provided is an object detecting device (), comprising: a disparity acquisition unit () which compares each image of two cameras () and computes a disparity for each pixel; a near-far boundary setting unit () which, in a single image of one of the two cameras, sets a boundary (Rb) between a near region (R) which is close to a vehicle () and a far region (R) which is distant from the vehicle (); a near object detecting unit () which detects objects () of the near region (R) on the basis of the disparity; and a far object detecting unit () which detects objects () of the far region (R) on the basis of the single image.
