APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AVOIDING COLLISION WITH REAR/LATERAL APPROACHING OBJECT WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BACKWARD

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for avoiding collision with a rear/lateral approaching object when a vehicle is driven backward, which identifies an object approaching a driver′s vehicle in a rear/lateral direction and detects the risk of collision with the corresponding object to warn the driver based on road information and rear image information from a rear pantoscopic camera when the vehicle is moved backward. The apparatus for avoiding collision with a rear/lateral approaching object comprises an image sensor part, an object information identification part, a warning control part and a warning part. The image sensor part obtains road information and rear image information from the rear pantoscopic camera mounted on the corresponding vehicle in accordance with parking of the corresponding vehicle while a transmission gear of the vehicle of the driver is in the reverse gear. The object information identification part identifies a rear/lateral object, which has a motion and approaches the corresponding vehicle, from the obtained image and calculates the movement speed of the identified object and distance between the vehicle and the object. The warning control part determines the possibility of collision between the object and the corresponding vehicle based on the movement speed of the object and distance information and performs a control operation to notify the driver of the possibility of collision when the possibility of collision exists. The warning part performs a warning under the control of the control part.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2017
