Abstract
The present invention relates to a robot and method for estimating an orientation on the basis of a vanishing point in a low-luminance image, and the robot for estimating an orientation on the basis of a vanishing point in a low-luminance image according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a camera unit configured to capture an image of at least one of a forward area and an upward area of the robot and an image processor configured to extract line segments from a first image captured by the camera unit by applying histogram equalization and a rolling guidance filter to the first image, calculate a vanishing point on the basis of the line segments, and estimate a global angle of the robot corresponding to the vanishing point.
