Claim 9:
10. The object detection device according to claim 1, wherein
the sensor unit further includes a contrast-related value calculator configured to acquire the first to third information as frame images for each predefined frame period, and calculates a contrast-related value for each of the frame images corresponding to the acquired first or third information,
the detection unit is configured to, given the three frame images respectively corresponding to the acquired first to third information, in response to the contrast-related value calculated for each of the three frame images being equal to or greater than a predetermined contrast threshold, detect the object using all of the acquired three frame images, and in response to at least one of the acquired three frame images being less than the predetermined contrast threshold, not perform detection of the object using all of the acquired three frame images.
