Abstract
A method and apparatus for assisting a vehicle to stop at crosswalks and intersections by using a surround view monitor (SVM). In particular, the method includes: obtaining a front top-view image of the vehicle by using the SVM, performing a stop line detection in the front top-view image, and performing a crosswalk detection in the front top-view image in response to no detection of a stop line. The method further includes: generating a virtual stop line in response to a detection of a crosswalk, and controlling the vehicle to stop based on the detected stop line or the generated virtual stop line.
