The apparatus for tracking an object and the method thereof and the method for locating a sensor are described. The subject object tracking apparatus comprises an interface receiving sensor information and object information from a sensor communicated with an object; a first storing part successively storing sensor information in chronological order; a second storing part storing a neighborhood graph displaying an object space; and a location determining part determining a location of an object using sensor information and a neighborhood graph. According to the present invention, an accessibility graph corresponding to a space is generated and a location of a sensor is determined on an accessibility graph, thereby effectively locating a sensor and tracking an object.
