- IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING PARTIALLY VISIBLE OBJECT APPROACHING FROM SIDE USING EQUI-HEIGHT PERIPHERAL MOSAICKING IMAGE AND SYSTEM FOR ASSISTING VEHICLE DRIVING EMPLOYING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and method, and a vehicle driving auxiliary system using the same. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the image processing apparatus comprises: an edge area extraction unit for extracting edge areas corresponding to the size of a target object predetermined from an image; a transformation unit for transforming the edge areas to change a viewpoint on the edge areas; a mosaicking image generation unit for generating a mosaicking image by connecting the transformed edge areas to each other; and an object detection unit for detecting an object including a part of the target object from the mosaicking image.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2016
