Abstract
A target detection apparatus includes a target detection section, a following section, a reception tendency determination section, and a target determination section. The reception tendency determination section determines a tendency of received electrical power of a reflected wave from the objective target relative to a distance from the vehicle to the objective target on the basis of a result of following the objective target by the following section. The target determination section determines the objective target as a high target allowing the vehicle to pass under, when the reception tendency determination section determines that the received electrical power has a tendency to be constant regardless of the distance to the objective target.
