Disclosed are an adaptive cruise control apparatus and an adaptive cruise control method using the same. An adaptive cruise control apparatus comprises an image acquisition device for acquiring image data in front of a subject vehicle; and a processor configured to detect presence of a forward vehicle using the image data; obtain information on the forward vehicle by using information on the presence of the forward vehicle and the image data; and predict a trajectory and speed of the subject vehicle using the information on the forward vehicle.

Adaptive cruise control apparatus and method thereof

A stereo image matching apparatus includes a processor which includes: a bit distributor distributing values of each pixel of stereo images into sequential N bits and outputting a plurality of stereo images including the sequential N bits; a plurality of cost calculators each receiving the plurality of stereo images and calculating matching cost values for each pixel of each of the stereo images; a confidence calculator calculating a matching confidence by using cost characteristics lit of the respective matching cost values calculated by the plurality of cost calculators; and a depth determiner determining that a depth value of which the matching confidence is high and the matching cost values are relatively low is a final depth value.
