1. A vehicle external detection device, wherein an imaging device and a radar device are mounted in a vehicle and configured to detect a rear lateral side of the vehicle, detection regions of the imaging device and the radar device being overlapped with each other, and the vehicle external detection device comprising:
an imaging occlusion occurrence detection device, detecting, from image information detected by the imaging device, an object and an occurrence of an occlusion where the object shields a distant viewing angle; and
a correction device, correcting position information of an object detected by the radar device when the occurrence of the occlusion is detected, wherein the correction device determines the object detected in the occlusion of the distant viewing angle by the radar device as an excessive detection object, and removes position information of the excessive detection object.
