APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REMOVING A REFLECTED LIGHT FROM AN IMAGING DEVICE IMAGE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for removing a reflected light from an imaging device image, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller including a processor configured to;
output, at a predetermined interval to a windshield or an imaging device lens, a control signal for controlling an on or off operation of at least one filter, wherein the filter is disposed on the windshield of a vehicle and the camera lens to enable the reflected light to pass therethrough;
obtain an image photographed by the camera, wherein the camera is installed in a direction toward the windshield of the vehicle;
generate a differential image in the image photographed by the camera, by subtracting a reflected image photographed when the filter is turned on from a general image photographed when the filter is turned off; and
obtain a final image by correcting an area corresponding to the reflected image of the differential image based on a blurred image of the differential image.

5. A method of removing a reflected light from an imaging device image, the method comprising:
-
outputting at a predetermined interval to a windshield or an imaging device lens, by a controller including a processor, a control signal for controlling an on or off operation of at least one filter, wherein the filter is disposed on the windshield of a vehicle and the camera lens to enable the reflected light to pass therethrough; obtaining, by the processor, an image photographed by the camera, wherein the camera is installed in a direction toward the windshield of the vehicle during; generating, by the processor in an image photographed by the camera, a differential image by subtracting a reflected image photographed when the filter is turned on from a general image photographed when the filter is turned off; and obtaining, by the processor, a final image by correcting an area corresponding to the reflected image of the differential image based on a blurred image of the differential image. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium, containing program instructions executed by a processor on a controller, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
program instructions that output at a predetermined interval to a windshield or an imaging device lens, a control signal for controlling an on or off operation of at least one filter, wherein the filter is disposed on the windshield of a vehicle and the camera lens to enable the reflected light to pass therethrough; program instructions that obtain, an image photographed by the camera, wherein the camera is installed in a direction toward the windshield of the vehicle during; program instructions that generate in an image photographed by the camera, a differential image by subtracting a reflected image photographed when the filter is turned on from a general image photographed when the filter is turned off; and program instructions that obtain, a final image by correcting an area corresponding to the reflected image of the differential image based on a blurred image of the differential image. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
