Abstract
An obstacle warning apparatus for vehicle is provided. The obstacle warning apparatus includes at least one camera module, a surround-view processor, an obstacle processor and an image synthesizer. Each camera module includes a projector for projecting structured infrared light to the region of interest outside of the vehicle, and a receiver for receiving first images and second images generated by visible light and structured infrared light both reflected from the region of interest, respectively. The surround-view processor generates surround-view data according to the first images. The obstacle processor generates obstacle data according to the second images. The image synthesizer generates the synthesized image according to the surround-view data and the obstacle data.
