Abstract
A method for detecting an obstacle applicable in an electronic device includes detecting whether at least one object is within a line of sight of an image capturing device. The image capturing device is controlled to capture a first image of the object and the image capturing device is caused to move until a capturing angle for capturing another image of the object is changed. The image capturing device is controlled to capture a second image of the object and a determination is made as to whether the object in the first image is the same as the object in the second image. For such recognized objects, the object is determined to be a non-planar obstacle when the object in the first image is not the same as the object in the second image.
