Abstract
An object detection device includes a processor. The processor is configured to apply a Hough transform to coordinate points on a UD map to detect a straight line having a predetermined length, and detect a target disparity corresponding to the detected straight line having the predetermined length as a disparity corresponding to an object parallel to a direction of travel of a stereo camera. In the UD map, a target disparity satisfying a predetermined condition among disparities acquired from a captured image is associated with coordinate points, each of the coordinate points having two-dimensional coordinates formed by a first direction and a direction corresponding to a magnitude of a disparity. The processor is configured to convert, in the Hough transform, a straight line passing through coordinate points associated with the target disparity and a predetermined range based on a vanishing point into a Hough space.
