This object detection device is provided with: an output unit; a plurality of detection units; a data acquisition unit; and an object information confirmation unit. The output unit outputs measurement light Lm towards an object. Each of the plurality of detection units detects, as a signal representing the distance to the object present in an observed area and the shape of the object, the reflected light generated as a result of the measurement light being reflected by the object. The data acquisition unit acquires detection signal waveforms W representing changes in the intensities of second signals over time. The object information confirmation unit confirms the range of the presence of the object by determining that any two or more of the detection units correspond to the same object, or correspond to different objects, on the basis of the detection signal waveforms.
