1. A stereoscopic object detection device comprising:

  • a first detection unit configured to detect a road surface and a stereoscopic object in surroundings of a vehicle based on image data representing a plurality of images having parallax acquired by imaging the surroundings of the vehicle with an in-vehicle camera from different points of view;

    a second detection unit configured to detect the stereoscopic object by a millimeter-wave radar; and

    a detection control unit configured to detect the stereoscopic object based on the detection result of at least one of the first detection unit and the second detection unit,wherein the detection control unit is configured to detect the stereoscopic object based on the detection result of the first detection unit when the stereoscopic object is within a range where the road surface is detectable by the first detection unit, andthe detection control unit is configured to detect the stereoscopic object based on the detection results of the first detection unit and the second detection unit when the stereoscopic object is outside of the range where the road surface is detectable by the first detection unit.
