OBJECT RECOGNITION DEVICE AND OBJECT RECOGNITION METHOD

An object recognition device is configured to: classify, under a state in which not all object data in a detection data group have been received and a part of the object data have been received by a current processing time, the part of the object data into pieces regarded as ready for association determination and pieces not regarded as ready for the association determination, to thereby associate the object data regarded as ready for the association determination and the prediction data individually with each other and set, as pending object data, the object data not regarded as ready for the association determination; and associate, under a state in which the remaining object data in the detection data group have been received by the next processing time after the current processing time, the remaining object data and the pending object data individually with the prediction data.
