1. A method, performed by an autonomous driving device, of recognizing an object, the method comprising:
obtaining a first red, green, blue (RGB) image by using a camera arranged in the autonomous driving device;
predicting at least one first region in which an object is unrecognizable in the first RGB image based on brightness information of the first RGB image;
determining at least one second region in which an object exists, from among the at least one first region, based on object information obtained through a dynamic vision sensor (DVS) arranged in the autonomous driving device;
obtaining an enhanced second RGB image by controlling photographic configuration information of the camera in relation to the at least one second region; and
recognizing the object in the second RGB image.
