Patent ID: 11313960

Abstract:
An object detection apparatus 1000 includes a plurality of transmitting units 1101 configured to emit a transmission signal, a receiving unit 1102 configured to mix the reception signal with a transmission signal to generate an IF signal, a spectrum calculation unit 1103 configured to calculate a spectrum that indicates a distribution of positions of the object, a section determination unit 1104 configured to determine sections for which a reflectance of the object is to be calculated, a reflectance distribution calculation unit 1105 configured to calculate, for each pair of a transmitting unit and the receiving unit, a reflectance of the object for each section, and calculate a product of the reflectance distributions over the sections, the reflectance distributions being calculated for the respective pairs, and an image generation unit 1106 configured to generate an image using a product of the reflectance distributions calculated for the respective pairs.
