Abstract
A detection apparatus is provided. The detection apparatus includes a hardware processor programmed to at least calculate a first echo intensity of a first reception signal generated from a reception wave reflected on a reflection object, calculate a second echo intensity of a second reception signal generated from a reception wave reflected on the reflection object, a signal duration of the second reception signal being shorter than that of the first reception signal, and detect a target from a comparison of the first echo intensity and the second echo intensity.
