1. An object information acquiring apparatus configured to acquire object information including type information and distance information related to an object, the object information acquiring apparatus comprising:
a light receiving module configured to capture first light reflected from a first object and second light reflected from a second object different from the first object;
a laser module configured to generate a-laser during an emission time window and not to generate laser during a non-emission time window; and
a controller configured to:
acquire a first image based on the first light captured during the emission time window by the light receiving module,
acquire a second image based on the second light captured during the non-emission time window by the light receiving module,
acquire distance information related to the first object represented in the first image based on a signal generated by the light receiving module, and
acquire type information related to the second object represented in the second image based on pixel values of the second image.
