Abstract:
An object detecting apparatus includes: a light projection unit that is an array light source in which each of a plurality of light emission areas emits light, an optical scanning unit that performs scanning with the light, which is emitted from the light projection unit, in a first direction, and a light receiving unit that receives reflected light which is the light, with which the scanning is performed, being reflected by an object, and an object information acquiring unit that detects presence/absence of the object based on emission timing at which the light is emitted from the light projection unit and light receiving timing at which the light receiving unit receives the reflected light.

Claim (Index 18):
The object detecting apparatus according to  claim 17 , wherein the processor acquires a shape of the object based on a distance to the object in each emitting direction of the light emitted from the optical scanner.
