Abstract
Provided are a localization apparatus for recognizing a location of a node in a sensor network and a method thereof. The method includes the steps of: a) selecting reference nodes from a plurality of anchor nodes to be used for triangulation; and b) obtaining location information of a target node by performing triangulation using the selected reference node, wherein in the step a), the reference nodes are selected by removing anchor nodes having obstacle factor from a plurality of the anchor nodes where the obstacle factor causes error in a distance measured by the target node.
