Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for detecting an obstacle adaptively to vehicle speed, comprising: a Global Positioning System (GPS) configured to generate information about a speed of a vehicle and a Pulse Per Second (PPS) signal; a speed-adaptive camera sensor configured to adjust a range of a detection region on an image of an area around the vehicle captured by a camera based on the information about the speed of the vehicle, and to generate first detection data on the obstacle within the range of the detection region using the PPS signal as a synchronization signal; a speed-adaptive laser scanner sensor configured to adjust a range of an angle of a field of view of a laser scanner for detecting the obstacle around the vehicle based on the information about the speed of the vehicle, and to generate second detection data on the obstacle within the range of the angle of the field of view using the PPS signal as a synchronization signal; and a processor configured to:
