APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AVM IMAGE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for providing an around view monitoring (AVM) image, the apparatus comprising:
- a camera which photographs an image of a self-vehicle'"'"'s surroundings;
a communicator which transmits and receives a signal with a surrounding vehicle, and receives an AVM image and surrounding information from the surrounding vehicle;
an image converter which generates an AVM image of a self-vehicle from the image photographed by the camera, and converts the AVM image of the surrounding vehicle based on a position of the self-vehicle by determining a relative position between the self-vehicle and the surrounding vehicle;
a detector which detects an overlapped area between the AVM image of the self-vehicle and the AVM image of the surrounding vehicle; and
an image compositor which composites the AVM image of the self-vehicle and the AVM image of the surrounding vehicle by matching the overlapped area between the AVM image of the self-vehicle and the AVM image of the surrounding vehicle.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method for providing an around view monitoring (AVM) image include a camera. A communicator transmits and receives a signal with a surrounding vehicle, and receives an AVM image and surrounding information from the surrounding vehicle. An image converter generates an AVM image of the self-vehicle from an image photographed by the camera and converts the AVM image of the surrounding vehicle based on a position of the self-vehicle. A detector detects an overlapped area between the AVM image of the self-vehicle and the AVM image of the surrounding vehicle. An image compositor composites the AVM image of the self-vehicle and the AVM image of the surrounding vehicle by matching the overlapped area between the AVM image of the self-vehicle and the AVM image of the surrounding vehicle.

9. A method for providing an AVM image, the method comprising:
-
photographing an image of a self-vehicle'"'"'s surroundings; receiving an AVM image of a surrounding vehicle and surrounding information by communicating with the surrounding vehicle; converting the AVM image of the surrounding vehicle to match based on a position of the self-vehicle by determining a relative position between the self-vehicle and the surrounding vehicle; compositing an AVM image of the self-vehicle and the AVM image of the surrounding vehicle based on an overlapped area by detecting the overlapped area between the AVM image of the self-vehicle generated from the image of the self-vehicle'"'"'s surroundings and the AVM image of the surrounding vehicle; and correcting a boundary area and an empty area of the composited AVM image. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
