Abstract
A LIDAR data based object recognition apparatus merges segments over-segmented in a LIDAR data based segmentation process. The apparatus includes a segment generator generating a plurality of segments by grouping points acquired from a LIDAR sensor. A target segment selector selects a target segment that is a base for merging from the plurality of segments and a segment merging determination unit checks whether segments other than the target segment are mergeable segments and determines whether to merge the target segment and the mergeable segments based on attribute information of the target segment and the mergeable segments. A segment merger merges the target segment and the mergeable segments and outputs a merged segment.
