Provided are an electronic device for generating map data and an operating method of the electronic device. The operating method of the electronic device includes: obtaining image data of a first resolution and image data of a second resolution for each of a plurality of nodes generated while the electronic device moves; obtaining location information with respect to each of the generated nodes, by using the image data of the second resolution; generating and storing map data by matching the obtained location information with the image data of the first resolution for each node; and estimating a current location of the electronic device by using the generated map data and the image data of the first resolution.

Electronic device for generating map data and operation method thereof

A pixel array including; color filter array (CFA) cells, each respectively including CFA blocks, each CFA block including color pixels, and the color pixels include a sub-block. The sub-block includes at least one first color pixel sensing a first color, at least one second color pixel sensing a second color different from the first color, and at least one third color pixel sensing a third color different from the first color and the second color.

Pixel array reducing loss of image information and image sensor including same

Provided is an autonomous vehicle including a storage configured to store a map including two-dimensionally represented road surface information and three-dimensionally represented structure information, a camera configured to obtain a two-dimensional (2D) image of a road surface in a vicinity of the vehicle, a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) unit configured to obtain three-dimensional (3D) spatial information regarding structures in a vicinity of the vehicle, and a controller comprising processing circuitry configured to determine at least one of the camera or the LiDAR unit as a position sensor, based on whether it is possible to obtain information regarding the road surface and/or the structures in the vicinity of the vehicle, to identify a position of the vehicle on the map corresponding to a current position of the vehicle using the position sensor, and performing autonomous driving based on the identified position on the map.

Method of determining position of vehicle and vehicle using the same

Provided is a method including detecting at least one external vehicle located within a predetermined distance from a first vehicle using at least one sensor; determining a risk due to the at least one external vehicle based on a type of the at least one external vehicle; and planning a traveling path of the first vehicle based on the risk due to the at least one external vehicle.
