Abstract
An electronic apparatus and method for license plate recognition-based vehicle control is provided. The electronic apparatus controls at least one of a plurality of image capture devices to capture one or more images of one or more second vehicles different from a first vehicle. The electronic apparatus detects a license plate of a second vehicle of the one or more second vehicles in the captured one or more images. The electronic apparatus further determines a depth map of the detected license plate of the second vehicle of the one or more second vehicles with respect to the first vehicle. The electronic apparatus further detects one or more events related to the second vehicle based on the determined depth map and controls one or more operations of the first vehicle based on the detected one or more events related to the second vehicle.
