Abstract: A calibration method may include: detecting, by a lane detection unit, lanes from around images acquired through cameras of a vehicle, when a behavior of the vehicle satisfies a preset behavior condition; analyzing, by a valid lane extraction unit, statistical characteristics of the positions and directions of the detected lanes, and extracting a valid lane by removing a misdetected lane; and estimating, by a parameter estimation unit, installation angles of the cameras based on the direction of the valid lane and a vanishing point decided through the valid lane.

Abstract: A camera angle estimation method for an around view monitoring system includes uniformizing and extracting, by a control unit of the around view monitoring system, feature points from an image of each of at least three cameras, acquiring, by the control unit, corresponding points by tracking the extracted feature points, integrating, by the control unit, the corresponding points acquired from the image of each of the cameras with one another, estimating, by the control unit, vanishing points and vanishing lines by using the integrated corresponding points, and estimating an angle of each of the cameras on the basis of the estimated vanishing points and vanishing lines.

Abstract: Provided is a contactless fingerprint image obtaining apparatus using a mirror. The contactless fingerprint image obtaining apparatus obtains the entire region of a fingerprint using the mirror in a contactless manner. The entire region of the fingerprint includes a fingerprint region of the front direction coinciding with the optical axis of a single shooting unit, and fingerprint regions of left/right lateral sides that do not coincide with the optical axis. Accordingly, unwillingness of a user, distortion caused by contact of the user, quality reduction, which are the limitations of a related art contact type fingerprint image obtaining apparatus are solved. Simultaneously, a wide region of a fingerprint image including the lateral sides of a fingerprint that cannot be directly obtained by a related art contactless fingerprint image obtaining apparatus using only a single camera can be economically obtained.
