Abstract

To effectively improve the recognition accuracy of the object, provided is an object recognition apparatus comprising an imaging unit for capturing front of a vehicle, an object recognition unit configured to calculate a reliability of an object recognition of an object in the image, and recognizes the object as an object actually present when the reliability is equal to or larger than a threshold value, a light control unit for controlling a light distribution of a headlamp in a light distribution pattern including an irradiation area and a light control area for shielding or dimming the irradiation light based on an existence information of the object, and a threshold change unit configured to changing, when the object in the image does not exist in the irradiation area, the threshold value to a smaller value than when the target is present in the irradiation area.
