Abstract
An apparatus for determining a position of an object outside a vehicle includes: a camera that obtains an external image of the vehicle, and a processor that may detect a target region corresponding to a target object in the external image. In particular, the processor detects a predetermined horizontal reference line in the target region, calculates a gradient of the horizontal reference line perpendicular to a front direction of the vehicle on a horizontal plane parallel to a road surface, and calculates a heading angle difference between the vehicle and the target object based on the gradient of the horizontal reference line.
