Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of recognizing a vehicle near an autonomous vehicle. The method includes, using an autonomous driving logic of an electronic control unit (ECU) extracting nearby vehicle information by sensing at least one nearby vehicle from a distance sensed at each angle within a certain angular range. The method further includes calculating an misrecognition index indicating a degree of closeness of a shape of the nearby vehicle to a shape of an exhaust gas based on the nearby vehicle information, executing an exhaust gas removal algorithm for correcting the nearby vehicle information when the misrecognition index is greater than a threshold misrecognition index, and estimating movement of the nearby vehicle after a current frame using the nearby vehicle information or the corrected nearby vehicle information obtained through the exhaust gas removal algorithm.
