An ECU detects a front vehicle which is present in a traveling direction of the own vehicle, based on an image captured by an imaging unit. The ECU includes: an end portion width calculation section which, when the front vehicle is present, calculates, as an end portion lateral width, a size of the front vehicle in a lateral direction relative to the traveling direction in a front-end or rear-end portion of the front vehicle, based on the image and dictionary information on a vehicle front or rear portion; a determination section which determines whether a side portion of the front vehicle is recognized in the traveling direction of the own vehicle; and a lateral width correction section which, if the determination section has determined that the side portion of the front vehicle is recognized, calculates a corrected lateral width by increasing the end portion lateral width.
