Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of estimating a location of an object and an apparatus therefor. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, an object location estimation apparatus, when a call request to an object is received from a terminal, initiates driving along a driving path, receives signals from the object during driving along the driving path, determines a distance to the object based on the signals from the object, and when the signals from the object are received the preset number of times or more during driving, estimates the location of the object based on the distance to the object determined based on each of the signals and a location on the driving path at a time of receiving each signal.

Abstract: A semiconductor measurement device may include an illumination apparatus having a polarizer on a propagation path of light output from a light source; an optical assembly including an objective lens configured to allow light passing through the polarizer to be incident on a sample and a beam splitter configured to transmit light reflected from the sample to first and second sensors; and a controller. The controller may be configured to determine an alignment state of patterns in a first region of the sample using a first original image output by the first sensor and an alignment state of patterns in a second region of the sample using a second original image output by the second sensor. The first sensor includes a first image sensor and a self-interference generator in a path along which light is incident on the first image sensor. The second sensor includes a second image sensor.
