TARGET DETECTION APPARATUS AND VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME MOUNTED THEREON

A target detection apparatus is configured to recognize a stationary object present within a detection range of an external sensor based on map information. Next, the target detection apparatus is configured to determine, by checking an image of the stationary object detected by the external sensor against the stationary object recognized from the map information, whether the image of the stationary object detected by the external sensor includes an undetected region. When the undetected region is identified, the target detection apparatus is configured to recognize an undetectable object present between the stationary object and a vehicle.
