Abstract
A door opening control apparatus and a door opening control method thereof are provided. The door opening control apparatus includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding obstacle based on sensor recognition information received from a plurality of sensors, a determiner configured to calculate a maximum opening angle of a door for preventing collision with the recognized surrounding obstacle and to determine a risk of collision between the door and the surrounding obstacle based on the calculated maximum opening angle, and a controller configured to control an opening angle of the door to prevent the door from colliding with the surrounding obstacle when determining that the risk of collision is present.
Claims20
An apparatus for controlling door opening, comprising:
- a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding obstacle based on sensor recognition information received from a plurality of sensors;
- a determiner configured to:
- calculate a maximum opening angle of a door for preventing collision with the recognized surrounding obstacle;
- and
- determine a risk of collision between the door and the surrounding obstacle based on the calculated maximum opening angle;
- and
- a controller configured to control an opening angle of the door to prevent the door from colliding with the surrounding obstacle when the risk of collision is determined to be present.
A method of controlling door opening, the method comprising:
- recognizing, by a recognizer, a surrounding obstacle based on sensor recognition information received from a plurality of sensors;
- calculating, by a determiner, a maximum opening angle of a door for preventing collision with the recognized surrounding obstacle;
- determining, by the determiner, a risk of collision between the door and the surrounding obstacle based on the calculated maximum opening angle;
- and
- controlling, by a controller, an opening angle of the door to prevent the door from colliding with the surrounding obstacle when the risk of collision is determined to be present.
A computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded thereon, the program to direct a processor to perform acts of:
- recognizing a surrounding obstacle based on sensor recognition information received from a plurality of sensors;
- calculating a maximum opening angle of a door for preventing collision with the recognized surrounding obstacle;
- determining a risk of collision between the door and the surrounding obstacle based on the calculated maximum opening angle;
- and
- controlling an opening angle of the door to prevent the door from colliding with the surrounding obstacle when the risk of collision is determined to be present.
A vehicle comprising:
- a radar configured to sense a surrounding obstacle of a subject vehicle;
- and
- a door opening control apparatus comprising:
- a recognizer configured to recognize the surrounding obstacle based on sensor recognition information received from the radar;
- a determiner configured to:
- calculate a maximum opening angle of the door for preventing collision with the recognized surrounding obstacle;
- and
- determine the risk of collision between the door and the surrounding obstacle based on the calculated maximum opening angle;
- and
- a controller configured to control an opening angle of the door to prevent the door from colliding with the surrounding obstacle when determining that the risk of collision is present.
