A determination method includes: obtaining first information indicating positions and shapes of one or more objects detected by a first detection device, and second information indicating positions and shapes of one or more objects detected by a second detection device determined in advance as a reference detection device; extracting a reference object that is a common object from the one or more objects detected by the first detection device and the one or more objects detected by the second detection device based on the first information and the second information, the common object being detected by the detection devices with a time difference within a predetermined range; comparing a position of the reference object indicated by the first information to the position of the reference object indicated by the second information; and determining whether the first detection device is operating normally.
