Abstract:
Multiple objects detected by multiple sensors are subjected to a determination as to whether or not the objects are identical to each other. If there is an object in the multiple objects, of which object position becomes undetectable after the point when the multiple objects detected by the multiple sensors are determined to be the identical object, a determination is made as to whether or not the continuously detected object is an object identical to the object in a previous processing based on a predicted range calculated from a previously detected object position of the object becoming undetectable, and on a range of presence estimated from an object position of the continuously detected object.

Claim (Index 1):
An object detecting method using an object detecting device provided with a plurality of sensors mounted on a moving body and configured to detect a position of an object around the moving body, and an object detecting circuit configured to detect an object by determining whether or not a plurality of objects detected by the plurality of sensors respectively are identical to each other, the method comprising:\n when ranges of presence estimated from object positions of the plurality of objects overlap each other, thereby the plurality of objects detected by the plurality of sensors respectively are determined to be the identical object, then an object position detected by a second sensor of the plurality of sensors is determined as an object position in a previous processing, the object position detected by the second sensor becomes undetectable and a first sensor of the plurality of sensors detects an object continuously later, causing the object detecting circuit to determine that the continuously detected object by the first sensor is an object identical to the object detected in a previous processing when a predicted range in a current processing calculated from the previously detected object position by the second sensor overlaps a range of presence estimated from an object position in a current processing of the continuously detected object by the first sensor.
