Person detection device and person detection method

A person detection device configured to analyze a fisheye image obtained by a fisheye camera installed above a to-be-detected area to detect a person existing in the to-be-detected area includes a human body detector configured to detect a human body candidate from a fisheye image and output, as a detection result, a bounding box indicating a region on the fisheye image of each human body candidate detected, a reference storage configured to prestore a reference for a shape and/or size of the bounding box for each position or area on the fisheye image, and a false detection determining unit configured to compare the shape and/or size of the bounding box of the human body candidate contained in the detection result with the reference corresponding to a position where the human body candidate is detected to determine whether the human body candidate results from false detection.
