Patent ID: 8666656

Claim:
An object detection device for transmitting a signal, and detecting an object based on a received result of a reflected signal of the transmitted signal reflected from the object, the device comprising: at least one transmitting sensor for transmitting the signal; at least two or more receiving sensors for receiving a reflected signal of the signal transmitted from the transmitting sensor; a delay-sum processing unit for generating two-dimensional distance information in which two or more reflected signals received by the receiving sensors are delay-summed in a plurality of reference planes set in advance; an integration unit for generating integrated distance information in which the two-dimensional distance information in the plurality of reference planes generated by the delay-sum processing unit is summed in a vertical direction to the reference planes; and a detection unit for detecting an object at a position in which an intensity in the vertical direction is equal to or larger than a threshold value by referring to an intensity in the vertical direction of the integrated distance information generated by the integration unit.
