Abstract

Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for recognizing the location of an object, which recognize the location of an object using an artificial landmark that is easily identifiable in an outdoor environment and that minimizes visual resistance. The presented apparatus includes an image acquisition unit for acquiring an image of an artificial landmark implemented using at least one of a first-type mark and a second-type mark, an artificial landmark detection unit for processing the image acquired by the image acquisition unit and detecting the artificial landmark from the image, a pose calculation unit for calculating a pose of the object based on an image coordinate and a world coordinate of the artificial landmark detected by the artificial landmark detection unit, and a pose verification unit for verifying whether the pose of the object calculated by the pose calculation unit are within an effective range.
