Abstract

Object detection systems and methods are disclosed. In one example, an object detection system holds blind spot information about a blind spot area of a driving target. An information acquisition unit acquires surroundings situation information about a surrounding situation of the driving target, a detection processing unit detects an object based on the surroundings situation information, a state determination unit determines that the object is in a dangerous state where the object is in the blind spot area, based on position information of the object detected and the blind spot information, and a notification unit notifies a driver of the driving target and/or surroundings around the driving target that the object is in the dangerous state.
