DETECTION DEVICE FOR DETECTING OBJECT IN DETECTION REGION OF AUTOMOBILE INNER PANEL PART, AUTOMOBILE, AND DETECTION METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To highly accurately pre-define a detection region in which an object is detected by setting a target and to monitor the entire region of an outlet opening.SOLUTION: A detection device 1 is provided on and/or above the inner panel part of an automobile, and detects an object located in the region of an outlet opening formed in the inner panel. The detection device 1 has a detection region 2 in which the object is detectable in the acquisition direction 8 of the detection device 1, and the acquisition direction 8 extends at least substantially in parallel with the opening surface of the outlet opening.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
