Abstract
A method for detecting a side of an object in an apparatus for detecting a side of an object within an image includes analyzing, by a boundary line detector, an input image to search a detection target region in which a target object is included, detecting, by the boundary line detector, a boundary line between the target object and a ground within the detection target region, calculating, by a side determiner, a gradient for the boundary line, and analyzing, by the side determiner, an image within the detection target region on the basis of the gradient to determine that the entirety of the detection target region is a region of the side of the target object or to determine a separated region corresponding to the side of the target object in the detection target region.
