A refrigerant circulating apparatus of a vehicle includes a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant, at least one heat-exchanger configured to exchange with the refrigerant, at least one valve configured to selectively provide the refrigerant to the at least one heat-exchanger, a bracket that supports the compressor, and a fluid line plate that is coupled to the bracket and disposed adjacent to the at least one heat-exchanger and the at least one valve. The fluid line plate includes a plurality of fluid lines defined inside the fluid line plate and configured to provide the refrigerant to the at least one heat-exchanger based on operation of the at least one valve.

Refrigerant circulating apparatus of vehicle

An object positioning method and apparatus is disclosed. The object positioning apparatus may obtain a reference position of an object, obtain a map-based heading angle of the object based on waypoints on a map, and determine a current position of the object based on the reference position and the map-based heading angle.

Method and apparatus for determining object position

An object recognition method and apparatus are provided. The object recognition apparatus acquires localization information of a vehicle, acquires object information about an object located in front of the vehicle, determines a candidate region in which the object is predicted to exist in an image in front of the vehicle, based on the localization information and the object information, and recognizes the object in the image based on the candidate region.

Method and apparatus for recognizing object

Disclosed is a method and apparatus that includes acquiring a driving image; acquiring positioning information indicating a location of a vehicle; extracting map information corresponding to the positioning information; determining a regression line function corresponding to a road on which the vehicle is traveling based on the map information; detecting the linearity of the road from the driving image using the regression line function; and indicating the detected linearity.

Method and apparatus with linearity detection

A method to control a velocity of a vehicle includes: extracting an end point of a road region from an input image; measuring a visibility distance between an end point location corresponding to the end point and a location of a vehicle; and controlling the velocity of the vehicle based on the measured visibility distance.

Method and apparatus to control velocity of vehicle

A method and apparatus for controlling a vision sensor are provided. The apparatus and corresponding method are configured to predict an expected point, on a traveling path of a host vehicle, at which an illumination variation greater than or equal to a threshold is expected to occur, and determine whether the host vehicle is located within a threshold distance. The apparatus and corresponding method are also configured to control a vision sensor in the host vehicle based on the expected illumination variation in response to the host vehicle being located within the threshold distance.

Method and apparatus for controlling vision sensor for autonomous vehicle

Disclosed are collision preventing apparatuses and methods for a vehicle. The collision preventing apparatus estimate whether objects located in a vicinity of the vehicle may collide with each other based on data collected from a sensor in the vehicle, determine a trajectory of each of the objects, verify whether the estimated trajectories intersect, determine that the objects may collide with each other in response to the estimated trajectories overlapping, inform each of the objects of a collision risk when the objects may collide with each other, and differently perform an operation of informing the objects of the collision risk based on a collision level of each of the objects.
