  • Publication number: 20190146514
    Abstract: An apparatus for autonomous driving algorithm development includes: a data obtaining unit configured to receive daily driving data including a front photographed image, GPS information, acceleration sensor data, and vehicle driving data of a vehicle; a data control unit configured to perform preliminary learning using the daily driving, and store the daily driving data in a connected database; a data pre-processing unit configured to match view angles of a road image of the front photographed image with an image conversion technique, and pre-process the daily driving data by converting the acceleration sensor data into acceleration components; a machine learning unit configured to learn the pre-processed daily driving data by applying it to an autonomous driving algorithm; a route model-generating unit configured to reconfigure, using the learned autonomous driving algorithm, the autonomous driving algorithm; and an autonomous driving control unit configured to provide a command for controlling the autonomous

  • Patent number: 9208683
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for sensing careless driving using a camera attached to a vehicle and warning a driver of a careless driving state, the apparatus including: a driving state determination unit for sensing a driving state of a vehicle based on a video of lanes; a lane-deviation sensing unit for sensing whether the vehicle deviated from the lane based on the video of lanes received from an image-processing unit; and a careless driving warning unit for generating a warning signal based on driving state information and lane deviation information received from the driving state determination unit and the lane-deviation sensing unit, respectively.
