Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed herein object estimation apparatus and method. The object estimation apparatus according to an example of the disclosure includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the object estimation apparatus to recognize one or more key points set in one or more objects included in an image of an object photographed by a camera, calibrate the image and project a grid map onto the calibrated image, project vertical lines onto the grid map-projected image, and generate, based on the projected vertical lines and the one or more recognized key points, one or more occupied grid map region (OGRs) in the grid map.
