A problem of the present invention is to provide an object detection device etc. that can accurately detect an object regardless of a view angle position of and distance to the object. An object detection device of the present invention has: a stereo distance detection portion 105 that detects a distance to an object; a position detection portion 106 that detects a position of the object; a pose detection portion 111 that detects a pose of the object; a vehicle information input portion that inputs state information about a host vehicle and a different vehicle; a position prediction portion 109 that predicts a position of the different vehicle based on the state information about the host vehicle and the different vehicle; a pose prediction portion 110 that predicts a pose of the different vehicle based on the state information about the host vehicle and the different vehicle; and a determination portion 112 that determines a distance to, a position of, and a pose of the different vehicle in response to the information detected or predicted by the distance detection portion, the position detection portion, the pose detection portion, the position prediction portion, and the pose prediction portion.
