Abstract
A drive support device includes: an acquisition processing unit that acquires (i) a distance to an object detected based on a result of transmission of a transmission wave and reception of a reception wave that is the transmission wave having returned upon reflection by the object and (ii) a reception level of the reception wave used to detect the distance; and a detection processing unit that detects information about a height of the object, based on a relationship between the distance and the reception level that are acquired by the acquisition processing unit.
