Disclosed is an object detection method capable of detecting with high precision information relating to a jointed object from image data. An object detection device () detects information relating to an object from image data of images captured of an object having multiple parts connected by joints. The disclosed object detection device () is provided with a joint angle extraction unit () which extracts the angle of a joint connecting two parts from candidates of the positions of two neighboring parts obtained from the image data, and a part length ratio estimation unit () which uses the joint angle to perform the detection described above.
