Abstract
A vehicle external detection device is provided. An imaging device and a radar device are mounted in a vehicle and configured to detect a rear lateral side of the vehicle. Detection regions of the imaging device and the radar device are overlapped with each other. The vehicle external detection device includes an imaging occlusion occurrence detection device and a correction device. The imaging occlusion occurrence detection device is configured to detect, from image information detected by the imaging device, an object and an occurrence of an occlusion where the object shields a distant viewing angle. The correction device is configured to correct position information of the object detected by the radar device when the imaging occlusion occurrence detection device detects the occurrence of the occlusion.
