APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE

The present disclosure provides a vehicle control apparatus and a vehicle control method comprising a radar for receiving radar signals transmitted from outside the vehicle and reflected from objects around the vehicle and processing the received radar signals to obtain detection data for the objects, and a controller for determining a stationary object among the objects based on the detection data, extracting feature points, determining whether the stationary object is a guardrail based on the extracted feature points, and determining a false target among the objects based on the guardrail. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to prevent the unrecognition or misrecognition of the control targets due to the guardrail.
