Abstract
An object detection apparatus including: an electromagnetic wave radiating-receiver radiating an electromagnetic wave and receiving a reflection wave of the radiated electromagnetic wave; a reflection point identifying mechanism identifying, based on data regarding the reflection wave received by the electromagnetic wave radiating-receiver, a reflection point on a detection target object at which the radiated electromagnetic wave was reflected; and a representative point setting mechanism setting a representative point representing the position of the detection target object based on the reflection point identified by the reflection point identifying mechanism. The object detection apparatus outputs data regarding the set representative point. The representative point setting mechanism performs a correction prohibiting or minimizing a change of position of the representative point in the detection target object which occurs as a result of a change in a relative position between the detection target object and the moving body.

14. An object detection apparatus provided in a moving body comprising:
-
an electromagnetic wave radiating-receiving section that radiates an electromagnetic wave and receives a reflection wave of the radiated electromagnetic wave; a reflection point identifying section that identifies, based on data regarding the reflection wave received by the electromagnetic wave radiating-receiving means, a reflection point on a detection target object at which the radiated electromagnetic wave was reflected; and a representative point setting section that sets a representative point representing the position of the detection target object based on the reflection point identified by the reflection point identifying section, the object detection apparatus being adapted to output data regarding the set representative point, wherein the representative point setting section is adapted to perform a correction of the representative point set the last time by the representative point setting section for prohibiting or minimizing a change of the position of the representative point in the detection target object which occurs as a result of a change in a relative position between the detection target object and the moving body. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
