Abstract

An apparatus for estimating a camera pose according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a similar image searcher, a clusterer, and an estimator. The similar image searcher searches for a plurality of images similar to an input image, from among a plurality of previously-stored images, based on the input image. The clusterer creates a cluster including at least some similar images meeting predetermined conditions, from among the plurality of similar images, based on viewpoint data tagged to each of the plurality of similar images. The estimator estimates a pose of a camera that has generated the input image, based on the cluster.
