1. An object detection apparatus comprisinga radar that detects position information of an object,an imaging device that detects position and size information of an object,a fusion processing device that fuses the object detected by the radar and the object detected by the imaging device when the detection results of the radar and the imaging device satisfy a prescribed fusion condition to generate a fusion object having position information and size information,wherein the fusion processing device includes an updating device that updates the size information of the previously acquired fusion object to a size information, which is a value other than zero, acquired by an interpolation based on size information of the previously acquired fusion object, when the detection result from the imaging device does not satisfy the fusion condition with respect to the detection result from the radar, and the provisional fusion object has the updated size information.
