Abstract
An apparatus for detecting an object of a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a camera that acquires an image from front of a vehicle and a controller that generates feature pyramid images based on a plurality of feature images extracted from the image. The controller also generates feature aggregation images by filtering the feature pyramid images, detects a pedestrian area from the feature aggregation images, and detects face regions from the feature pyramid images. At least one of the face regions that overlaps the pedestrian area is then determined as a face of a pedestrian.
