Abstract
A camera system includes an image capturing device configured to capture a rear image of a vehicle, a sensor configured to measure a speed of the vehicle, a direction, a height, and an inclination angle of the image capturing device, an image processor configured to convert the rear image by using information measured by the sensor, an attachment mount that is attachable to various locations connected to the vehicle, and a communication device configured to transmit the converted rear image to an audio video navigation (AVN) system of the vehicle.
Claims16
A camera system comprising:
- an image capturing device configured to capture a rear image of a vehicle;
- a sensor configured to measure a speed of the vehicle, a direction, a height, and an inclination angle of a lens of the image capturing device;
- an image processor configured to convert the rear image by using information acquired from the sensor;
- an attachment mount that is attachable to various locations connected to the vehicle;
- and
- a communication device configured to transmit the converted rear image to an audio video navigation (AVN) system of the vehicle.
A method for correcting an image of a camera system, the method comprising steps of:
- inputting a first image captured by a camera of a vehicle;
- firstly converting the first image captured by the camera to a second image to be in a rearward direction;
- determining an inclination angle of the camera from the second image and secondly converting the second image to a third image such that the third image corresponds to the determined inclination angle of the camera;
- determining a height of the camera from the third image and thirdly converting the third image to a fourth image such that the fourth image corresponds to the determined height of the camera;
- and
- outputting the fourth image that is converted to correspond to the height of the camera.
