  • Publication number: 20140121899
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus and a method for controlling an image on a multi-function mirror, the apparatus for controlling an image on a multi-function mirror including: an angle sensor that measures the angle of a multi-function mirror in a vehicle; an operation sensing unit that senses the operation angle of the multi-function mirror from the value measured by the angle sensor; a view changing unit that produces a view-changed image by changing the view of an external image taken by a first camera mounted on the vehicle on the basis of the sensed operation angle of the room mirror; and an output control unit that controls the external image to be displayed on the multi-function mirror, and controls a view-changed image corresponding to the adjusted angle of the multi-function mirror to be displayed on the multi-function mirror.

  • Publication number: 20140119597
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus and a method for tracking a position of a peripheral vehicle. The apparatus includes: a processor; memory; an image obtaining unit configured to receive one or more images from one or more cameras disposed on a vehicle; a peripheral vehicle detecting unit configured to analyze the one or more images to detect a peripheral vehicle in the peripheral one or more images; a position tracking unit configured to track the peripheral vehicle detected in the peripheral one or more images; a view converting unit configured to generate a view-converted image by converting a view of the peripheral image based on the tracked position of the peripheral vehicle; and an output controlling unit configured to output the view-converted image to a display provided in the vehicle.
