SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING SURROUNDING INFORMATION OF VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A system of providing surrounding information of a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a plurality of image acquisition units installed in the vehicle at a preset interval;
an image acquisition unit selector which selects at least two image acquisition units of the plurality of image acquisition units and receives image data from the selected acquisition units; and
a control unit which recognizes an obstacle from the image data received from the image acquisition unit selector, calculates a position of the obstacle, and controls the image acquisition unit selector to select the at least two image acquisition units of the plurality of image acquisition units according to information for vehicle speed of the vehicle.

10. A method of providing surrounding information of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
determining current vehicle speed of the vehicle; selecting at least two image acquisition units having a first baseline among a plurality of image acquisition units when the current vehicle speed is less than a preset first reference value; selecting at least image acquisition units having a second baseline longer than the first baseline among the plurality of image acquisition units when the current vehicle speed is less than a preset second reference value; selecting at least two image acquisition units having a third baseline longer than the second baseline among the plurality of image acquisition units when the current vehicle speed is greater than the preset second reference value; receiving image data from the selected at least two image acquisition units and performing image processing on the received image data; and recognizing an obstacle from the image-processed image data and calculating a position of the obstacle. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
