Abstract
A system for providing image information while interworking with a plurality of photographing apparatuses converts each of at least one image transmitted from the plurality of photographing apparatuses into a frame, and inserts the coordinates of the intersection into the converted frame. Next, the system determines whether a vehicle enters the intersection based on the frame into which the coordinates of the intersection are inserted, the current travelling direction of the vehicle, and the current position coordinates of the vehicle. The system extracts image information of the road intersecting at the frame corresponding to each of at least one image, when the vehicle enters the vehicle, and provides the extracted image information to the user through a terminal in the vehicle.
Claims12
A method for providing image information to a user in a vehicle by a system that is operated while interworking with a plurality of photographing apparatuses, the method being performed by processing circuitry configured to execute instructions stored in a tangible medium that when executed perform operations of the method comprising:
- converting each of at least one image transmitted from the plurality of photographing apparatuses into a frame;
- inserting coordinates of an intersection into the frame;
- determining whether the vehicle enters the intersection based on the frame into which the coordinates of the intersection are inserted, the current travelling direction of the vehicle, and the current position coordinates of the vehicle;
- when the vehicle enters the intersection, extracting image information of an intersected road from the frame corresponding to each of at least one image;
- and
- comparing the current travelling direction of the vehicle to road direction information to display the extracted image information to the user through a terminal in the vehicle such that the extracted image information presented includes an indication of a direction a corresponding road in the image runs.
A system for providing image information that is operated while interworking a plurality of photographing apparatuses that photograph a road situation, comprising:
- an image processor that converts at least one image transmitted from the plurality of photographing apparatuses into a frame and inserts the coordinates of an intersection into the frame;
- an enter determination unit that determines whether the vehicle enters the intersection based on the frame including the coordinates of the intersection, the current travelling direction of the vehicle, and the current position coordinates of the vehicle;
- and
- an extractor that extracts image information of an intersected road from the frame corresponding to each of the at least one image, when the vehicle enters the intersection based on comparing the current travelling direction of the vehicle to road direction information to display the extracted image information to the user through a terminal in the vehicle such that the extracted image information presented includes an indication of a direction a corresponding road in the image runs.
