Abstract
An object detection device that shares a bus with an external memory and another device includes a data acquisition unit that acquires original image data from the external memory via the bus, a reduction processing unit that generates pieces of reduced image data from the original image data at differing reduction rates after the data acquisition unit acquires the original image data once, and an object detection unit that detects a position at which an object appears in the pieces of reduced image data by performing matching processing on the pieces of reduced image data using a template for the object.
