ABSTRACT:
An identical object determination method of determining whether or not objects are detected by a plurality of sensors identical has a determining a relative position and speed thereof, a determining a position error thereof based on the determined positions and calculating a first probability that the detected objects are identical with respect to the position from the determined position error based on a normal distribution concerning the position error, a determining a speed error thereof based on the determined speed and calculating a second probability that the detected objects are identical with respect to the speed from the determined speed error based on a normal distribution concerning the speed error, a calculating a third probability that the detected objects are identical based on the calculated first probability and the calculated second probability, and a determining that the detected objects are identical if the third probability exceeds a first determination value.
