There are provided an autonomous vehicle, and an apparatus and method for
estimating the motion of the autonomous vehicle and detecting
three-dimensional (3D) information of an object appearing in front of the
moving autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle measures its
orientation using an acceleration sensor and a magnetic flux sensor, and
extracts epipolar geometry information using the measured orientation
information. Since the corresponding points between images required for
extracting the epipolar geometry information can be reduced to two, it is
possible to more easily and correctly obtain motion information of the
autonomous vehicle and 3D information of an object in front of the
autonomous vehicle.
