Provided is an atypical environment-based location recognition apparatus. The apparatus includes a sensing information acquisition unit configured to, from sensing data collected by sensor modules, detect object location information and semantic label information of a video image and detect an event in the video image; a walk navigation information provision unit configured to acquire user movement information; a metric map generation module configured to generate a video odometric map using sensing data collected through a sensing information acquisition unit and reflect the semantic label information; and a topology map generation module configured to generate a topology node using sensing data acquired through the sensing information acquisition unit and update the topology node through the collected user movement information.
