Abstract
A method of monitoring a vehicle bottom condition is provided. in which forward, left-side, right-side, and rear images of a vehicle are received from a camera unit of the vehicle, and traveling distance information of the vehicle is received from a sensor unit of the vehicle. The images received from the camera unit based on the traveling distance information received from the sensor unit are stored. A vehicle bottom image is then generated based on the stored image, the generated vehicle bottom image is matched with a surround view monitoring (SVM) image of the vehicle, and the SVM image matched with the vehicle bottom image is output.
Claims23
A method of monitoring a vehicle bottom condition, comprising:
- receiving, by a controller, forward, left-side, right-side, and rear images of a vehicle from a camera unit of the vehicle, and traveling distance information of the vehicle from a sensor unit of the vehicle;
- storing, by the controller, the images received from the camera unit based on the traveling distance information received from the sensor unit;
- generating, by the controller, a vehicle bottom image based on the stored image;
- matching, by the controller, the generated vehicle bottom image with a surround view monitoring (SVM) image of the vehicle;
- and
- outputting, by the controller, the SVM image matched with the vehicle bottom image.
A vehicle bottom condition monitoring system, comprising:
- a camera unit including a forward camera, a rear camera, a left-side camera, and a right-side camera;
- a sensor unit configured to measure a traveling distance of a vehicle;
- a virtual vehicle bottom condition monitoring system configured to:
- receive forward, left-side, right-side, and rear images of the vehicle from the camera unit, and traveling distance information of the vehicle from the sensor unit of the vehicle;
- store the image received from the camera unit based on the traveling distance information received from the sensor unit;
- generate a vehicle bottom image based on the stored image;
- and
- match the generated vehicle bottom image with a surround view monitoring (SVM) image of the vehicle;
- and
- a display unit configured to output the SVM image matched with the vehicle bottom image.
