Abstract
A sameness judgment unit of an object recognition apparatus sets a threshold value for a relative distance between the first object and the second object, for judging whether or not the first object and the second object are the same. If at least a portion of the first object exists on a travel path of a vehicle, and the second object exists outside of the travel path, the sameness judgment unit judges that the first object and the second object are different objects, even if the relative distance is less than or equal to the threshold value.
