Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing the surrounding environment information of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a first information extraction unit for collecting sensing information about a surrounding environment of a vehicle and extracting lane information and object information based on the sensing information. A second information extraction unit acquires an image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle, and extracts lane information and object information based on the image. An information integration unit matches and compares the lane information and the object information extracted by the first information extraction unit with the lane information and the object information extracted by the second information extraction unit, determining ultimate lane information and ultimate object information based on results of comparison, and providing the ultimate lane information and the ultimate object information to a control unit of the vehicle.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for recognizing the location of an object, which recognize the location of an object using an artificial landmark that is easily identifiable in an outdoor environment and that minimizes visual resistance. The presented apparatus includes an image acquisition unit for acquiring an image of an artificial landmark implemented using at least one of a first-type mark and a second-type mark, an artificial landmark detection unit for processing the image acquired by the image acquisition unit and detecting the artificial landmark from the image, a pose calculation unit for calculating a pose of the object based on an image coordinate and a world coordinate of the artificial landmark detected by the artificial landmark detection unit, and a pose verification unit for verifying whether the pose of the object calculated by the pose calculation unit are within an effective range.
Abstract:
A lane tracking apparatus and method using camera direction control is provided. The lane tracking apparatus using camera direction control includes a lane recognition unit for obtaining lane information from an image captured and acquired by a camera. A road curvature calculation unit calculates a curvature of a road using the lane information. A camera direction angle control unit controls a direction angle of the camera in consideration of the road curvature.
