Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method and a system for obstacle detection adapted to a self-guiding machine. The method is performed in the system including a controller for driving the system, a light emitter, a light sensor, an image processor and a central processor. The light emitter and the light sensor are set apart at a distance. When the light emitter emits an indicator light being projected onto a path the self-guiding machine travels toward, the light sensor senses the indicator light. An image containing the indicator light is generated. After analyzing the image, at least one feature of the indicator light being sensed can be obtained and used to obtain a spatial relationship between the self-guiding machine and an obstacle. The spatial relationship allows the system to determine if the self-guiding machine will collide with a wall or fall from a cliff.
