Abstract
An apparatus and a method for recognizing a high-elevation structure using a LiDAR sensor are provided. The apparatus includes an object-sensing unit configured to output a point cloud, acquired by sensing an object, as LiDAR data, a point-extracting unit configured to extract points associated with a high-elevation structure, which corresponds to an object having a height greater than or equal to a predetermined level, from among points included in the LiDAR data, and an information-generating unit configured to generate the contour of the high-elevation structure and estimate the location of the high-elevation structure using the extracted points and to output the generated contour and the estimated location as information representing the high-elevation structure.
