1. An around-view monitoring (AVM) apparatus, comprising:
- a camera module configured to obtain a plurality of video images from around a vehicle;
a display configured to display an around-view video image; and
a controller configured to compose the plurality of video images to generate an around-view video image, detect a first parking line and a second parking line from the around-view video image, track the detected first and second parking lines, and generate an imaginary parking line when any one of the first and second parking lines is not tracked to control the display to output the around-view video image,wherein;
the controller comprises;
a video composer configured to compose the plurality of video images to generate an around-view video image;
a detector configured to detect a first parking line and a second parking line from the around-view video image;
a tracker configured to track the first parking line and the second parking line; and
a predictor configured to generate an imaginary parking line when one of the first and second parking lines is not tracked;
the detector comprises an inter-line interval determiner configured to determine an inter-line interval between the first and second parking lines;
the predictor is configured to predict the first parking line based on the second parking line and the inter-line interval when the first parking line is not tracked, and to predict the second parking line based on the first parking line and the inter-line interval when the second parking line is not tracked; and
the tracking unit is configured to track the first and second parking lines based on the difference of angles between first and second parking lines in a previous video image and a present video image.

8. An operating method of an around-view monitoring (AVM) apparatus, comprising:
-
obtaining a plurality of video images from around a vehicle; generating an around-view video image by composing the video images; detecting a first parking line and a second parking line from the around-view video image; tracking the first and second parking lines; predicting an imaginary parking line when one of the first and second parking lines is not tracked; and displaying an AVM image comprising the imaginary parking line, wherein; the detecting comprises determining an inter-line interval between the first and second parking lines; the predicting comprises predicting the first parking line based on the second parking line and the inter-line interval when the first parking line is not tracked, and predicting the second parking line based on the first parking line and the inter-line interval when the second parking line is not tracked; and the tracking comprises tracking the first and second parking lines based on a difference of angles between the first and second parking lines in a previous video image and a present video image. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
