Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus may include a light detection and ranging device (LiDAR) and a processor. According to a method, the processor may obtain a plurality of LiDAR data points by removing points with a specific height or higher from a point cloud corresponding to an external vehicle, may generate a bounding box based on contour points, which indicate a periphery of the external vehicle, and may obtain a final bounding box obtained by correcting the bounding box based on an angle between a first heading direction of a virtual box and a second heading direction of the bounding box exceeding a reference angle, and based on a distance between a first location of the virtual box and a second location of the bounding box being smaller than or equal to a first reference distance.
