Abstract
An object detection device is provided with a plurality of processor units each detecting an object included in an image. The object detection device generates divided images by dividing the image, taking into consideration both the processing load for detection of an object by each processor element and the transfer load for transfer of the divided images to the processor elements. Independently of each other, the processor elements detect an object in each of the divided images.
