    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method of building a map of a mobile platform moving in a dynamic environment and detecting an object using a 3D camera sensor, e.g., an IR TOF camera sensor, for localization. A localization technology to separate and map a dynamic object and a static object is applied to a mobile platform, such as an unmanned vehicle or a mobile robot. Consequently, the present method is capable of accurately building map information based on the static object in a dynamic environment having a large number of dynamic objects and achieving a dynamic object avoidance or chasing function using position information acquired to build the map.
