Abstract:
1. An on-vehicle radar device comprising: transmitting and receiving means for transmitting and receiving a radar wave in a form of a radio wave; object sensing means for sensing a plurality of objects, which are spaced away from a vehicle having the on-vehicle radar device and reflect the transmitted radar wave, based on an output of the transmitting and receiving means; target vehicle extracting means for extracting a target vehicle to be monitored from the plurality of sensed objects; and blind spot object extracting means for extracting a blind spot object, which is present in a blind spot of the target vehicle extracted by the target vehicle extracting means, from the plurality of sensed objects through use of propagation of the radio wave that is directed from the transmitting and receiving means toward the target vehicle.
