1. An apparatus for extracting a feature to recognize an obstacle using a laser scanner, the apparatus comprising:
- a laser scanner installed at a front of a traveling vehicle and configured to obtain laser scanner data having a plurality of layers in real time; and
a controller configured to separate the laser scanner data obtained by the laser scanner into a plurality of layers to extract measurement data present in each layer and determine features of the measurement data to classify a type of obstacle based on a plurality of stored features,wherein the features comprise at least one of a form of the measurement data present in the layer, a number or position of measurement data present in each layer or whether the layer in which the measurement data is not present is present.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for extracting a feature point to recognize an obstacle using a laser scanner are provided. The apparatus includes a laser scanner that is installed at a front of a traveling vehicle and is configured to obtain laser scanner data having a plurality of layers in real time. In addition, a controller is configured to separate the laser scanner data obtained by the laser scanner into a plurality of layers to extract measurement data present in each layer and determine feature points of the measurement data to classify a type of obstacle based on a plurality of stored feature points.
