  • Patent number: 11946610
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp for emitting light at various locations adjacent to a vehicle while having a simplified configuration is provided. A vehicle lamp includes a light-emitting unit that emits light to form a road surface pattern, and a movable unit on which the light-emitting unit is mounted. The light generated by the light-emitting unit enables the road surface pattern to be formed on different locations of a road surface adjacent to the vehicle as the movable unit rotates.

  • Patent number: 9508189
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for creating a 3D image of vehicle surroundings. The method according to the present invention includes the steps of: mapping images captured by a plurality of cameras installed in a vehicle to a virtual plane defined by a 3-dimensional space model having a container shape with a flat bottom surface and a top surface which has an increasing radius; and creating a view image having a viewpoint of a virtual camera by using the image mapped to the virtual plane. According to the present invention, it is advantageous that an image of vehicle surroundings including surrounding obstacles can be expressed naturally and three-dimensionally. It is also advantageous that an optimal image of vehicle surroundings can be provided by changing the virtual viewpoint according to a traveling state of the vehicle. There is also the advantage that a user can conveniently adjust the viewpoint of the virtual camera.
