Apparatus and method for blind-spot monitoring of vehicle based on rear camera

A method performed by an apparatus of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• obtaining a rear-view image based on an operation of a rear camera of the vehicle;
• setting a region of interest in the rear-view image, wherein the region of interest corresponds to at least one blind spot area of the vehicle determined based on a turn signal of the vehicle or a lane departure signal of the vehicle;
• determining that an object is in the region of interest;
• generating, based on the object being in the regions of interest, a blind spot image comprising a plurality of auxiliary lines;
• and
• displaying, via a display device, the blind spot image,
• wherein the plurality of auxiliary lines comprise one or more lateral distance guide lines and one or more longitudinal distance guide lines each spaced a predetermined distance from the vehicle, and serve as reference thresholds for determining whether the object has entered a collision risk region.

An apparatus comprising:

• a display device;
• at least one processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
• obtain a rear-view image based on an operation of a rear camera of a vehicle;
• set a region of interest in the rear-view image, wherein the region of interest corresponds to at least one blind spot area of the vehicle determined based on a turn signal of the vehicle or a lane departure signal of the vehicle;
• generate, based on an object being in the region of interest, a blind spot image comprising a plurality of auxiliary lines;
• and
• display, via the display device, the blind spot image,
• wherein the plurality of auxiliary lines comprise one or more lateral distance guide lines and one or more longitudinal distance guide lines, and wherein at least one of the plurality of auxiliary lines is configured to be visually adjusted based on a determination that the object has entered a collision risk region.
