Abstract: An apparatus and method of detecting a position of a light source are provided. The method includes: generating a top view image of a vehicle by using one or more cameras mounted on the vehicle; detecting a shadow area from the top view image by using an artificial intelligence model trained to recognize objects from a video or an image input; detecting a first area corresponding to an area of a shadow of the vehicle from the shadow area; detecting a direction of the light source based on the first area; and calculating an incidence angle at which light emitted from the light source is incident on the vehicle, based on the first area.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a collision distance estimation device and a driver assistance system using the same. The collision distance estimation device includes an image acquisition unit configured to acquire images of surroundings of a vehicle to generate image information, an image reading unit configured to detect and identify an object present around the vehicle from the image information to generate object recognition information, a travel detection unit configured to generate movement distance information on the basis of wheel sensing information, steering information, and the image information, and a collision distance calculation unit configured to calculate collision distance information on the basis of the object recognition information and the movement distance information.
