Abstract
An object detection device includes an image data acquiring unit that acquires image data indicating an image captured by a camera, a first feature amount extracting unit that generates a first feature map using the image data, a second feature amount extracting unit that generates a second feature map using the image data, and generates a third feature map by performing addition or multiplication of the second feature map using the first feature map and weighting the second feature map, and the object detection unit that detects an object in the captured image using the third feature map. A first feature amount in the first feature map uses a mid-level feature corresponding to objectness, and a second feature amount in the second feature map uses a high-level feature.
