Abstract
An apparatus and a method correct a level of a headlamp, in which a sight of the driver may be sufficiently secured while an influence on a sight of a driver of a preceding vehicle is minimized by specifying a level of a cutoff line of the headlamp using a transverse length and a longitudinal length of a number plate frame image. The specified level is compared with a level of a target line calculated based on a change of an inter-vehicle distance. The method includes determining whether it is necessary to perform a correction of raising or lowering the level of the headlamp, and a correcting the level of the headlamp such that the cutoff line of the headlamp follows the level of the target line at the corresponding inter-vehicle distance.
