20140368636 | PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM - A parking assistance system may include: an image obtaining unit including a plurality of cameras, and configured to obtain images at front, rear, left, and right sides of the vehicle; an image composing unit configured to compose the image and generate a composed image in a form of an around view; an image processing unit configured to generate a contour line image from the composed image; a parking line recognizer configured to extract parking lines from the contour line image and calculate a parking space through the detected parking lines; and a parking path generating unit configured to generate a parking path or a guide line of the vehicle based on the parking lines or the detected parking space, and provide the parking path or the guide line to a steering wheel controller for automatically controlling a steering wheel or a display unit for displaying the composed image. | 12-18-2014 |
20150073660 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING STEERING WHEEL AND SYSTEM THEREFOR - Provided are a method for controlling a steering wheel and an apparatus therefor: for example, a method using an AVM composite image and a distance sensing sensor based parking support system. For example, a method for controlling a steering wheel, includes: detecting a parking line and at least two intersecting points intersecting the parking line from a first image obtained by composing images input from a plurality of cameras equipped in a vehicle; detecting a rotating amount and a moving amount of the vehicle from the first image and a second image continued to the first image; compensating for a rotating angle error and a moving error of the vehicle from the detected rotating amount and moving amount; constructing an obstacle map by reflecting the compensated rotating angle error and moving error; and controlling the steering wheel based on the constructed obstacle map. | 03-12-2015 |
20150103175 | SAFETY ALARM SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VEHICLE - A safety alarm system for a vehicle including: a sensor module configured to output an open signal when a vehicle door is opened; an image photographing module configured to output first and second vehicle surrounding image obtained by sequentially photographing a vehicle surrounding area; and a control module configured to detect whether a moving object is located within a predetermined vehicle safety area in the first and second images input by operating the image photographing module at the time of inputting the open signal and generating a safety alarm when the moving object is detected. | 04-16-2015 |
20150127217 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF ASSISTING PARKING - Disclosed are an apparatus and a method of assisting parking, and the apparatus for assisting parking includes: an around view monitoring (AVM) system including a plurality of cameras mounted in a vehicle, and configured to combine images photographed by the respective cameras, and output a combined image signal in a form of an around view; a controller configured to analyze the combined image signal and detect a parking guide line, calculate a distance between the detected parking guide line and the vehicle, and generate control information corresponding to the calculated distance; and a guide unit configured to output control information. | 05-07-2015 |
20150142267 | PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VEHICLE - Disclosed is a parking assistance system and method for a vehicle. The system for assisting parking for a vehicle includes: an image composition unit configured to generate a composed image in a form of a top view or an around view; a parking line detection unit configured to detect a parking line through image-processing of the composed image; a distance and inclination calculation unit configured to calculate a distance and an inclination (slope) between the detected parking line and the vehicle; and a movement path generation unit configured to generate a movement path for deposing the vehicle at an initial position, the initial position being set to a position at which the detected parking line is parallel to a longitudinal center axis of the vehicle, and the detected parking line and the vehicle are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval. | 05-21-2015 |
20150179075 | PARKING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS AND PARKING ASSISTANCE METHOD FOR VEHICLE - Disclosed are a parking assistance apparatus and a parking assistance method for a vehicle. The parking assistance apparatus for a vehicle according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include: a parking line detecting unit which detects a left parking line and a right parking line of a parking space based on an image; an obstacle sensing unit which detects an obstacle existing within a predetermined distance based on a sensor; and a route creating unit which combines information about positions of the left parking line, the right parking line, and the obstacle, and creates a parking route. | 06-25-2015 |
20150326782 | AROUND VIEW SYSTEM - An around view system includes a navigation module configured to display a driving speed and a driving route of a vehicle on a navigation map, and an around view monitor (AVM) module configured to generate a panoramic image by photographing front and rear and left and right images relative to the vehicle when the driving speed falls within a predetermined threshold speed range. The AVM then transmits image control information to the navigation module so as to map the panoramic image onto the driving route. | 11-12-2015 |
20150360613 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING LOCATION OF VEHICLES - An apparatus for identifying the location of vehicles includes a camera module continuously photographing peripheral images of a vehicle, an AVM module displaying the peripheral images and an AVM image generated based on the peripheral images, and a control module distinguishing each of the peripheral images and the AVM image as a text recognition image and a text non-recognition image. It updates and stores the distinguished peripheral images and AVM image. When the vehicle is turned off, the control module transmits the text recognition image and the text non-recognition image stored before the turn-off to a predetermined mobile terminal. | 12-17-2015 |
20150364043 | PARKING SYSTEM OF VEHICLE - A parking system of a vehicle, including: a display unit; an image obtaining unit configured to obtain a rear image of a vehicle; an encoder unit configured to measure an encoder value for a rotation of a wheel installed in the vehicle; and a controller configured to determine a target parking section based on a parking line and a parking crossing point recognized in the rear image, and control a combined image obtained by combining the target parking section and a current position of the vehicle estimated according to the target parking section and the encoder value to be displayed on the display unit. | 12-17-2015 |
