Apparatus and method for processing an image of a vehicle

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle image processing device and a method therefor. A vehicle image processing apparatus may include a storage that stores optical property information of a first camera among a plurality of cameras for obtaining a vehicle periphery image, a processor that determines whether backlight is present in the vehicle periphery image and generates a display image based on whether the backlight is present, and a communication device controlled by the processor and communicating with a device in the vehicle. The processor may calculate location information of a light source for at least one of the first camera or the vehicle by using coordinates of a shadow object of the vehicle, which is recognized from the vehicle periphery image, and coordinates of the vehicle, and may determine whether the backlight is present, by comparing location information of the light source with the optical property information.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
