Abstract
A object detection apparatus may include: an object detection sensor having a cover for protecting the object detection sensor from foreign matter, and configured to sense a target object by transmitting a scan signal to the target object and receiving a sensing signal reflected from the target object; a protection film part including a protection film disposed on an outer surface of the cover to prevent contamination of the cover by foreign matter; and a control unit configured to replace the protection film disposed on the outer surface of the cover through a winding operation for the protection film part when a protection film replacement condition is satisfied due to contamination of the protection film, in order to prevent a reduction in sensing performance of the object detection sensor due to contamination by foreign matter.
