Abstract

An object detection device for detecting an object includes a light receiving section, an image acquisition part, and a malfunction detection part. The light receiving section has a light receiving surface in which light receiving elements capable of receiving incident light including reflected light of emitted radiated light are arranged in a plane, and outputs a first light receiving signal according to a light receiving state of the light receiving element in a first area, when a predetermined usable area in the usable areas on the light receiving surface is referred to as a first area. The image acquisition part acquires an ambient light image indicating a light receiving intensity of ambient light using the first light receiving signal. A malfunction detection part detects a malfunction of the light receiving element in the first area using the ambient light image.
