1. A device for recognizing an obstacle for a vehicle, the device comprising:
a camera for acquiring an image;
a detection device for extracting an object from the image by applying a convolutional neural network to the image and forming a bounding box surrounding the object;
a center calculation device for estimating a center point of the bounding box and a region outside the center point;
an uncertainty determination device for:
determining a first probability that the estimated center point of the bounding box is a center point of the extracted object;
determining a second probability for the estimated region outside the center point; and
determining, based on the first and second probabilities, an uncertainty value for each of the estimated center point of the bounding box and the region outside the center point; and
a condition determination device for visualizing the determined uncertainty value and determining a travel recommendation based on visualization of the determined uncertainty value.
