The present disclosure relates to a vehicle image processing device and a method therefor. A vehicle image processing apparatus may include a storage that stores optical property information of a first camera among a plurality of cameras for obtaining a vehicle periphery image, a processor that determines whether backlight is present in the vehicle periphery image and generates a display image based on whether the backlight is present, and a communication device controlled by the processor and communicating with a device in the vehicle. The processor may calculate location information of a light source for at least one of the first camera or the vehicle by using coordinates of a shadow object of the vehicle, which is recognized from the vehicle periphery image, and coordinates of the vehicle, and may determine whether the backlight is present, by comparing location information of the light source with the optical property information.

Apparatus and method for processing an image of a vehicle

An automatic parking system is provided. The automatic parking system includes a camera processor that acquires images around a subject vehicle, converts the acquired images into external images and synthesizes the external images. A sensor processor measured spaced distances between the subject vehicle and surrounding vehicles. A parking space recognizing unit periodically receives the spaced distances and the external images and comparing the consecutive external images with the spaced distances using an image recognition technology to recognize parking areas. A controller calculates a moving path between a current position of the subject vehicle and an optimal parking area and operates the subject vehicle based on the moving path.

Automatic parking system and automatic parking method

An automatic parking system includes a sensor detecting parking areas depending on a size of a subject vehicle and a controller controlling the subject vehicle to be parked in an optimal parking area among the parking areas, in which the sensor may detect the parking areas in consideration of a length and a width of the subject vehicle and detect a spaced distance from surrounding vehicles positioned on a side of the subject vehicle in the optimal parking area and the controller may calculate a moving path between a current position of the subject vehicle and the optimal parking area and compare a predetermined reference distance and the spaced distances to control the subject vehicle.

An apparatus for remotely controlling an exit mode in a vehicle includes a driver detector that detects a location of a driver, an obstacle detector that detects an obstacle located around the vehicle, and a controller that sets an exit mode of a remotely started vehicle based on the location of the driver, detected by the driver detector, and the location of the obstacle, detected by the obstacle detector.

Apparatus and method for remotely controlling exit mode in vehicle

An automatic parking system includes a sensor system measuring whether there is a parking section line and positions of surrounding vehicles, and a controller configured to analyze data sensed by the sensor system to calculate parking areas around a subject vehicle, calculate a range allowing generation of a moving path based on the parking areas, provide a moving path range for a parking type that is selected among the moving path ranges provided for the at least two parking types, and an optimal parking area for the selected moving path range, and automatically park the subject vehicle in the optimal parking area.

A vehicle control device includes a processor configured to determine a danger of collision between a user located within a specific distance from a first vehicle and a second vehicle that is traveling, warn the danger of collision through the first vehicle or a user terminal of the user according to the danger of collision, or control movement of the first vehicle, or transmit warning information to the second vehicle, and a storage configured to store information calculated by the processor.

Vehicle control apparatus, a system including the same, and a method thereof

The present disclosure provides a parking path generation device, a system including the same, and a method of automatically parking a vehicle. The parking path generation device includes: a parking space search unit to search for a parking space in a forward direction or in a reverse direction, a control unit to control a search direction of the parking space search unit, and to determine whether the parking space search unit fails to find the parking space in the search direction, and a path generation unit to generate a parking path in the search direction when the parking space search unit successfully finds the parking space.

Parking path generation device, system including the same, and method thereof

An apparatus for a remote parking includes: an user input unit to receive a user input for instructing a parking of a vehicle remotely; a distance detection unit to detect a separation distance to a side vehicle located around the vehicle; a parking operation unit to accomplish an automatic parking of the vehicle; and a controller to control the parking operation unit so that a separation distance to a passenger seat side vehicle located in the side of passenger seat of the vehicle is adjusted to a preset reference distance based on the detected separation distance, when receiving the user input through the user input unit.
