Abstract
An object detection device includes an azimuth sensor that measures an azimuth region of an object that is present around a vehicle, a plurality of distance sensors each of which measures a distance to the object, and an object determination section that calculates arcs of circles whose radii are the distances measured by the respective distance sensors and calculates intersection points of a tangent to adjacent ones of the arcs and the azimuth region measured by the azimuth sensor.
