Object detection apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An object detection apparatus comprising:
- a transmitter configured to output a radio wave;
a receiver configured to receive a reflected wave of the radio wave; and
a processor configured to;
generate a plurality of object information each indicating a location of each of a plurality of objects with respect to a predetermined reference point based on the radio wave and the reflected wave,calculate a first distance between an observation reference line which represents a shape and a location of a target area for detection preset depending on a target object for detection, and each of the plurality of objects, based on the observation reference line information stored in advance indicating a shape and a location of the observation reference line and the object information,select a predetermined number or less of the object information in ascending order of the first distance among the plurality of the object information as the object information to be output, andoutput the predetermined number or less of the selected object information.

Abstract
An object detection method includes outputting a radio wave, receiving a reflected wave of the radio wave, generating a plurality of object information each indicating a location of each of a plurality of objects with respect to a predetermined reference point based on the radio wave and the reflected wave, calculating a first distance between an observation reference line which represents a shape and a location of a target area for detection preset depending on a target object for detection, and each of the plurality of objects, based on the observation reference line information stored in advance indicating a shape and a location of the observation reference line and the object information, selecting a predetermined number or less of the object information in ascending order of the first distance among the plurality of the object information as the object information to be output, and outputting the selected object information.

12. An object detection method comprising:
-
outputting a radio wave; receiving a reflected wave of the radio wave; generating a plurality of object information each indicating a location of each of a plurality of objects with respect to a predetermined reference point based on the radio wave and the reflected wave; calculating, by a processor, a first distance between an observation reference line which represents a shape and a location of a target area for detection preset depending on a target object for detection, and each of the plurality of objects, based on the observation reference line information stored in advance indicating a shape and a location of the observation reference line and the object information; selecting a predetermined number or less of the object information in ascending order of the first distance among the plurality of the object information as the object information to be output; and outputting the predetermined number or less of the selected object information.
