Abstract: Provided are a calibration method and a calibration apparatus for steering assist or autonomous driving of a vehicle in which lines on a road are detected from an image and coordinates of the lines in an image domain are transformed into coordinates in a world domain to update homography matrix that represents a transformation relationship between the image domain and the world domain, and controlling the vehicle traveling on the road based on the lines.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for determining driving information. The apparatus generates a probability map corresponding to a target object to be detected from a driving image, extracts representative points from a candidate region of the target object detected from the driving image, extracts some of the representative points based on the probability map, calculates a confidence value for the candidate region of the target object based on the extracted some representative points, and determines driving information of the vehicle based on the confidence value.

Abstract: A distance estimating method and apparatus are provided. The method includes acquiring a real target length corresponding to target points of an object, calculating, from an input image, an image target length corresponding to the real target length, and estimating a distance from a distance estimating apparatus to the object, based on the real target length, the image target length, and a focal length thereof.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for converting an image. The apparatus includes an image sensor configured to obtain an image of a road, and a processor. The processor is configured to segment an input image into a plurality of region images, determine a vanishing point corresponding to each of the plurality of region images, obtain a translation relation for converting two-dimensional (2D) coordinates of a point in a region image among the plurality of region images into three-dimensional (3D) coordinates, based on a vanishing point of the region image, and generate road profile data based on translation relations of the plurality of region images.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of preparing a metal oxide suspension, which is advantageous due to the prevention of hydration and agglomeration of the metal oxide and a simple preparation process. The method of preparing a metal oxide suspension according to this invention includes preparing metal oxide, mixing the metal oxide with a solvent and a surface treating agent to obtain a mixture, and wet milling the mixture such that the metal oxide of the mixture has a nanoscale particle size and the metal oxide is uniformly dispersed in the mixture.
