Abstract
A vehicle includes at least one camera configured to obtain images around the vehicle, a display configured to display an output image based on the images around the vehicle, an inputter configured to receive a user's command, and a controller configured to determine a display mode of the output image based on the user's command and change an exposure value of the camera based on brightness information of a predetermined area corresponding to the display mode.
Claims20
A vehicle comprising:
- a plurality of cameras configured to obtain images around the vehicle;
- a display configured to display an output image from one or more of the cameras based on the images around the vehicle;
- an input device configured to receive a user's command;
- a memory storing an algorithm;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the algorithm to determine a display mode of the output image to be displayed based on the user's command, to determine a reference area in the images or portions of the images around the vehicle based on the display mode, and to change an exposure value of the one or more of the cameras based on brightness information of the determined reference area corresponding to the display mode so that the determined reference area determines the exposure value of the one or more of the cameras used to display the output image, wherein the reference area is different than the output image to be displayed.

A method for controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining images around the vehicle using a plurality of cameras;
- receiving a user command;
- determining a display mode of an image to be displayed based on the user command, the image to be displayed being obtained by one or more of the cameras;
- determining an area of interest in the obtained images around the vehicle based on the user command, the area of interest being different than the image to be displayed;
- changing an exposure value of the camera based on brightness information of the determined area of interest;
- and
- displaying the image to be displayed so that the image is displayed with the exposure value of the camera being based on the brightness information of the area of interest that is different than an area of the image.
4 more elements
A method for controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining images around the vehicle, the images obtained by at least one camera;
- receiving a user command;
- determining a display mode based on the user command, the display mode indicating simultaneous viewing of different views from outside the vehicle;
- determining a reference area in the images around the vehicle, the reference area determined by one of the different views that has a highest priority;
- changing an exposure value of the at least one camera based on brightness information of the determined reference area;
- and
- simultaneously displaying the different views indicated by the display mode.
