Vehicle control apparatus and method thereof

A method of controlling a vehicle control apparatus for a vehicle, the method comprising:

• displaying, via a display in vehicle, image information associated with the vehicle;
• emitting, via at least one light source in the vehicle, light so as to form at least one reflected light in one region a pupil and eyeball of a user gazing at one region on the display;
• storing, via a memory, coordinate information on each region within the vehicle and the at least one light source;
• obtaining, via at least one camera in the vehicle, an image including one region of the pupil and eyeball of the user;
• calculating, via a controller of the vehicle control apparatus, a first coordinate from a center of the pupil and calculate a second coordinate from the at least one reflected light included in the obtained image;
• calculating, via the controller, a coordinate of one point within the vehicle as a reference coordinate from prestored coordinate information of the at least one light source when a distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate is less than a preset distance;
• and
• performing, via the controller, calibration on the reference coordinate for a coordinate corresponding to a direction in which the user gazes.
