Providing an object detecting device and the object detecting method capable of improving the accuracy of detecting a target from the input data and determines the target determination unit 154 to include the detection target in theinput data.
Providing an object detecting device and the object detecting method capable of improving the accuracy of detecting a target from the input data. Object detection apparatus 10, the input data acquired from the data input unit 150, a multi-level data generation unit 152 information level is the degree to represent a detection target to generate a plurality of different data from each other, each of the plurality of data contrast, increased degree of the evaluation value calculation unit 153 for calculating an evaluation value representing the degree of detected likeness, evaluation values calculated for each information level different from each other data increases with the increase of the information level There has when it is increasing degree than the lower limit value in the case that contains the detection target in the input data, and determines the target determination unit 154 to include the detection target in the input data.
