APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING SHORT CUT-IN VEHICLE AND VEHICLE USING THE SAME

An apparatus and method for identifying a short cut-in vehicle, and a vehicle using the same are disclosed. The apparatus includes a signal conversion unit configured to receive and signal-process a plurality of sensing signals, a computation unit configured to compute state information of a surrounding vehicle detected from the signal-processed signal, a sensor fusion track output unit configured to output a sensor fusion track based on the computed state information of the surrounding vehicle, an occupancy distance map (ODM) output unit configured to output ODM information including a grid map corresponding to a vehicle detection region and an ODM object including a plurality of detection points based on the computed state information of the surrounding vehicle, and a cut-in vehicle identification unit configured to identify a cut-in vehicle based on the output sensor fusion track and ODM information.
