Abstract:
1. An object detection system comprising: a radar detection unit that detects an object using a radar; an image detection unit that detects an object using an image; and a collating unit that performs a present collation between a detection result of the radar detection unit and a detection result of the image detection unit so as to determine whether an identical object is detected by the radar detection unit and the image detection unit; wherein the collating unit performs a first collation between an object detected by the radar detection unit in a present radar detection and a previous fusion object that has been determined as being detected by the radar detection unit and the image detection unit in a previous collation, performs a second collation between an object detected by the image detection unit in a present image detection and the previous fusion object, and determines whether the radar detection unit and the image detection unit detect the identical object in the present collation based on the first and the second collations.
