Abstract
According to one embodiment, a detection apparatus includes a processor. The processor acquires height information at a plurality of points in a subject. The processor determines whether or not one or more steps are present at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height from a reference in the subject based on the height information. The processor detects that the subject is in a state in which a plurality of objects are overlapped, if the number of the steps is equal to or greater than a first threshold value.
