Original Abstract Submitted
An object recognition device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a target sensor, a tracking unit, a detection probability calculation unit, a presence probability calculation unit, and a recognition unit. The detection probability calculation unit is configured to calculate a detection probability of a target in the current process cycle, wherein the stronger the reflection intensity in the previous processing cycle, the higher is made the calculated detection probability. The presence probability calculation unit is configured to calculate the presence probability of the target with respect to the observed value of the reflection position in the current processing cycle, using the calculated detection probability. The recognition unit is configured to recognize a target being tracked as a target representing an object, in response to the presence probability being greater than or equal to a predetermined value.
