Abstract
According to an embodiment, an object detecting apparatus includes a detector and an estimation processing unit. The detector is configured to detect an object candidate area from a captured image. The estimating processing unit is configured to, by performing estimation processing using a part of or a whole of the captured image including at least the object candidate area, output object information including at least information representing a pose of an object in the object candidate area. The estimation processing includes: a first process estimating, from among vertices of a cuboid circumscribing the object and making contact with a road surface, positions of at least two vertices on the captured image that are viewable from a viewpoint of the captured image; and a second process estimating to which one of right-front, left-front, right-rear, or left-rear of the object the vertices having positions estimated by the first process are respectively corresponding.
