Object detection apparatus and method
A capture region calculation unit calculates a capture point having the local highest reflection intensity in power profile information and calculates a capture region surrounding the capture point. An edge calculation unit calculates the edges of one or more objects from image data. A marker calculation unit calculates a marker from the capture region. A component region calculation unit calculates component regions by extending the marker using the edges. A grouping unit groups component regions belonging to the same object, of the component regions. The object identification unit identifies the types of one or more objects (e.g., large vehicle, small vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, flight object, bird) on the basis of a target object region resulting from the grouping.
