Abstract
An apparatus and method for sensing a state of a movable body. According to the apparatus and method, since image information regarding a dashboard of a movable body is collected and a state of the movable body is sensed by analyzing the collected image information by means of image recognition technologies, the state of the movable body can be accurately sensed without an odometer and without a separate wire connection in the movable body. Further, when the apparatus and method are applied to a navigation system, more accurate position information and path guidance can be provided to users of the navigation system.
