Abstract
An object detection method includes irradiating a position in front of a host-vehicle with an electromagnetic wave, and detecting an object in front of the host-vehicle based on a reflected wave of the electromagnetic wave. The object detection method further includes capturing an image of the position in front of the host-vehicle to acquire an image, and determining whether the object is floating matters based on the acquired image if a state where the object is not detected changes to a state where the object is detected.
