Apparatus and method for tracking the position of a peripheral vehicle
First Claim
1. An apparatus for tracking a position of a peripheral vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store program instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the program instructions, the program instructions when executed configured to;
receive one or more images from one or more cameras disposed on a vehicle;
analyze the one or more images to detect a peripheral vehicle in the one or more images;
track a position of the peripheral vehicle detected in the one or more images;
implement a virtual camera based on position and attitude information of the cameras, and convert a view of the virtual camera according to the position of the peripheral vehicle detected in the peripheral images to generate a view-converted image for the peripheral; and
output the view-converted image to a display provided in the vehicle,wherein the image of the peripheral vehicle is positioned at the center of the view-converted image, andwherein the view converting unit defines a position relationship between the vehicle and the peripheral vehicle, and displays an image corresponding to the defined position relationship between the vehicle and the peripheral vehicle on the view-converted image.
