The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus for recognizing an obstacle to a vehicle. The method comprises: acquiring point cloud data of a target region by a lidar sensor and acquiring image data of the target region by using an image capturing apparatus; recognizing obstacle information in the point cloud data by a preset point cloud recognition model, and labeling a recognition result to obtain a first labeled result; recognizing obstacle information in the image data by a preset image recognition model, and labeling a recognition result to obtain a second labeled result; comparing the first labeled result with the second labeled result to decide whether the first and the second labeled result are identical; and determining a correct labeled result from the first and the second labeled result in response to the first and the second labeled result being not identical and outputting the correct labeled result.
