Abstract

An object-tracking method using a LiDAR sensor according to an embodiment includes: generating a grid map based on a point cloud generated with respect to an object using a LiDAR sensor mounted to a vehicle traveling in an x-axis direction; performing static labeling when the absolute value of the y-coordinate of the center of each grid on the grid map in a y-axis direction that intersects the x-axis direction is less than a y-axis coordinate threshold value; and performing dynamic labeling when the absolute value is not less than the y-axis coordinate threshold value. Since both static labeling and dynamic labeling are utilized, it is possible to improve the performance of outputting information about an object that is elongated, thus improving the performance of an autonomous driving system, such as prediction of a travel route and map matching.
