Abstract

The present disclosure may relate to a vehicle control apparatus and a method thereof. The vehicle control apparatus with a sensor and processor may generate a first virtual box based on sensor data and first points representing an external vehicle and protruding object and create a second virtual box from second points excluding the object portion. Validity of the second virtual box is determined using criteria including location, angle, and distance relative to the first virtual box. If valid, the second virtual box is mapped onto the external vehicle, and a signal is generated indicating this mapping.
