Abstract
An obstacle detection device is configured to evaluate a ghost likelihood of a detection point to be high when a movement pattern of the detection point does not match a movement pattern of a detection point when a received carrier wave is a reflected wave from an obstacle, when the movement pattern of the detection point matches a movement pattern when the detection point is a ghost, when a characteristic of a strength or a degree of steepness of the carrier wave matches a characteristic of a strength or a degree of steepness when the detection point is a ghost, or when another detection point that has a direction and a speed correlated with a direction and a speed of the detection point and is different from the detection point, is present.
