Summary:In a target merging process in a radar ranging device, determination of continuity is accurately performed and output processing of newly appearing targets is performed rapidly. The current target position (data prior to merging) is calculated (S 1 ), and a predicted position is calculated (S 2 ). The continuity of targets whose previous position and current position satisfy predetermined conditions (S 3 to S 5 ) is determined (S 6 to S 7 ). After the data prior to merging is stored in a buffer (S 9 ), the merging process is performed. By storing the data prior to merging in the buffer, continuity is determined for each detected target and, therefore, even if the position of a target changes after merging, subsequent determination of continuity can be performed accurately.
