Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a camera that collects image data, a communication circuit that performs communication with an external device, a memory, and a processor. The processor obtains first position information about the electronic device, stores first feature point information based on the first position information, obtains an image via the camera, recognizes an object from the image, extracts second feature point information about the recognized object, and calculates second position information of higher accuracy than the first position information based on comparing the first feature point information with the second feature point information.
