Abstract

A detection apparatus detects a tilt of a LiDAR apparatus that is mounted to a vehicle. The detection apparatus includes a distance image acquiring unit, a surroundings information acquiring unit, and a detecting unit. The distance image acquiring unit acquires a distance image that is expressed by a detection point group that is detected by the LiDAR apparatus. The surroundings information acquiring unit acquires surroundings information on a periphery of a traveling route of the vehicle. The detecting unit that determines the tilt of the LiDAR apparatus based on the acquired distance image and the acquired surroundings information.
