Claim 5:
6. The object detection device according to claim 5, wherein
the sensor unit is mountable and usable in a vehicle,
the sensor unit is configured to acquire the first to third information as frame images respectively corresponding the first to third information for each predefined frame period, and
the detection unit is configured to perform an association process on each of the first to third information to associate a result of the clustering process performed on a current frame image acquired during a current frame period and a result of the clustering process performed on a previous frame image acquired during a previous frame period with each other using at least pixel values of each of the current and previous frame images, the result of the clustering process performed on the previous frame image being a result of tracking process that associates the result of the clustering process performed on the previous frame image and a result of the clustering process performed on a next previous image acquired during a next previous frame period with each other.
