Abstract
An apparatus for recognizing a location in an autonomous vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor that generates a LiDAR contour of a fixed structure located at the roadside and a LiDAR contour of a variable structure. A controller then detects a location of the autonomous vehicle based on the LiDAR contour of the fixed structure and the LiDAR contour of the variable contour, generated by the LiDAR sensor.
