Video Event Data Recorder having improved visibility and image processing method of the same

摘要

The present invention relates to an image recording apparatus for a vehicle having improved visibility for providing clear image data and an image processing method therefor. According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an image recording apparatus for a vehicle having an improved visibility, comprising: a camera unit for capturing an image of a surrounding environment of a vehicle and acquiring image data; A controller for detecting an object on the basis of a predetermined feature and brightness in the image data and controlling the filtering unit to filter the object, and a storage unit for storing the image data acquired by the camera unit do. Accordingly, the filtering process for lowering the brightness of the object having the light source in the surrounding environment can be performed, so that the camera unit can acquire the image data having relatively uniform brightness, thereby providing the image data having visibility. By obtaining such image data, license plates, peripheral names, and the like can be acquired accurately and easily.
