Abstract: A method for measuring an inter-vehicle distance includes acquiring a driving image photographed by a photographing device of a first vehicle which is being driven; detecting a second vehicle from the acquired driving image; detecting first feature points of a second vehicle region in a first frame corresponding to a frame in which the second frame is detected before a frame in which the second vehicle is not detected among a plurality of frames constituting the driving image, when the second vehicle is not detected from the driving image; detecting second feature points in a second frame corresponding to a current frame by tracking the detected first feature points; calculating a feature point change value between the first feature points and the second feature points; and calculating an inter-vehicle distance from the photographing device of the first vehicle to the second vehicle based on the calculated feature point change value.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for guiding a path of an electronic device and an electronic device. The method for guiding a path according to the present disclosure includes: acquiring a top-view image; extracting guiding information in a lane from lane information extracted from the top-view image; and guiding a path of a vehicle using the extracted lane information and the guiding information in the lane. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to promote safe driving by guiding a possible traveling direction on the path to a driver in real time through image analysis of a traveling road. In addition, it is possible to provide more detailed path guidance by providing the path guidance reflecting the necessity of lane change by recognizing the lane of the driving path.
