Abstract
An object position detection apparatusincludes a distance image generation unitwhich generates a two-dimensional distance image by measuring a distance to a subject including an object on the basis of a light transmission time, an object image generation unitwhich generates an object image in which the object is extracted from the distance image of the subject, and an installation angle detection unitwhich detects an installation angle of the distance image generation unit. The object image generation unitincludes a differentiatorwhich performs a process of removing a background other than the object from the distance image of the subject and a threshold value d for removing the background in the differentiatoris set in response to the installation angle of the distance image generation unitdetected by the installation angle detection unit
