BLIND SPOT SENSING APPARATUS AND METHOD

1 . A blind spot sensing apparatus comprising:

a transceiver unit configured to transmit/receive a signal for sensing an object existing in a vehicle blind spot;

a sensing unit configured to sense the object by receiving the signal;

a determining unit configured to determine whether the object is an object to warn about based on whether the sensed object moves or not; and

a warning unit configured to generate a warning signal when it is determined that the object is the object to warn about.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sensing unit senses the object existing in the blind spot based on a reflected signal which is received by being reflected by the object or a water spray generated by the object.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the determining unit determines whether the object is moving by comparing a waveform of the reflected signal received by the transceiver unit with a reference waveform.

4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein, when the number of peaks in the waveform of the reflection signal, which exceed the reference waveform, exceeds a reference value, the determining unit determines that the object is moving.

5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the reflection signal is a reflection signal reflected by a water spray generated by the moving object and received.

6 . A blind spot sensing method comprising:

transmitting/receiving a signal for sensing an object existing in a vehicle blind spot;

sensing the object by receiving the signal;

determining whether the object is an object to warn about based on whether the object moves or not; and

generating a warning signal when it is determined that the object is the object to warn about.
