Abstract
An object detection device includes: a camera ECU that measures the bearing of an object by detecting the object from an image captured by a camera and identifying the direction toward the object; a sonar that measures the distance to the object existing around the vehicle; and a position identification unit that identifies the position of the object by combining the measured bearing data and distance data on a grid map that is based on a polar coordinate system and identifying the grid cell where the object exists on the grid map.
