Abstract

The object detection apparatus detects an object target by using the LIDAR and the camera. The object detection apparatus includes a calibration processing unit that is configured to perform calibration of the LIDAR and the camera. The LIDAR includes a light reception element configured to receive reflection light of irradiated laser light and reflection light of ambient light which is light other than the laser light and to detect an intensity of the received reflection light of the ambient light. The calibration processing unit is configured to perform the calibration, based on a result of light reception of the received reflection light of the ambient light and the camera image captured by the camera.
