Abstract
It's an object of the invention to provide an object detection device capable of detecting an object for detection in an input image with high precision. In an object detection device, a detection window setting unitreceives a photographic imagephotographed by a camera. The detection window setting unitsets a detection window area in the photographic imageand generates a normal window imageby cutting out the detection window area from the photographic image. An image processing unitperforms image processing such as enlargement and reduction, etc. on the photographic image. Each modified window imagesis cut out from each of the enlarged photographic imageand the reduced photographic image. A degree calculation unitcalculates matching rates indicating a possibility the object for detection in the window image for each window images on the basis of feature dataindicating a feature of the object for detection. A determination unitdetermines whether or not the detection object is present in the detection window area on the basis of the matching rates of each window image.
