Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for detecting an object based on a visible light and infrared ray fusion image. According to the present invention, the apparatus for detecting an object around a vehicle based on a visible light and infrared ray fusion image includes a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory determines whether an object detection degradation area due to a surrounding environment exists in a visible light image around the vehicle input through a visible light camera, and stores program commands executable by the processor to classify an object by using RGB data of the visible light image and infrared ray image data obtained through an infrared ray camera as an input value of a pre-trained object detection network.
