Abstract
An apparatus for clustering a point cloud can include: a three-dimensional (3D) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor configured to generate a point cloud around a vehicle and a controller configured to project the point cloud generated by the 3D LiDAR sensor onto a circular grid map to be converted into two-dimensional (2D) points, the circular grid map including a plurality of cells, and to cluster the 2D points on the circular grid map.
