First Claim
1. An apparatus for correcting image distortion of a rear imaging device, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to;
analyze a characteristic of an imaging device installed in a rear of a vehicle;
set a plurality of tilting angles for a plurality of photographed areas of a virtual imaging device corresponding to the rear imaging device from the characteristic value of the rear imaging device;
generate a correction model by applying the plurality of tilting angles to the plurality of photographed areas of the virtual imaging device;
tilt the virtual imaging device based on the correction model;
perform a view conversion on a image photographed through the rear imaging device according to the plurality of set tilting angles for the plurality of photographed areas of the virtual imaging device to generate a corrected image; and
output the corrected image.
