AUTONOMOUS DRIVING CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF

An autonomous driving control apparatus for determining an object using high definition map and sensor fusion on a road with a gradient and a method thereof are provided. The autonomous driving control apparatus includes a sensor that obtain information about an object around a vehicle, a communication device that receives information about a high definition map around the vehicle, and a processor electrically connected with the sensor and the communication device The processor navigates a vehicle lane link and a target lane link based on the information about the object and the information about the high definition map, determines a valid contour region by applying a valid contour verification algorithm to the vehicle lane link and the target lane link, and recognizes an object in the valid contour region.
