Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling driving of a vehicle operating an apparatus for controlling driving of a vehicle by executing an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and/or machine learning algorithm in a 5G environment connected for the Internet of Things. The method for controlling driving of a vehicle may include controlling a host vehicle in an adaptive cruise mode so that a distance between the host vehicle and a preceding vehicle or a following vehicle is maintained within a predetermined distance based on a driving environment information of the host vehicle and a vehicle information of the preceding vehicle or the following vehicle, and controlling the host vehicle in an adaptive avoidance mode when the distance between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle or the distance between the host vehicle and the following vehicle is not maintained within the predetermined distance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for generating a character collage message. A character is recognized from an image. A region is extracted from the image to create a character image. The region includes the recognized character. The created character image is stored in a memory. At least the character image is output to an output unit as the character collage message in accordance with input of one or more characters through an input unit. At least one of the one or more characters corresponds to the character image, and the character image is output to the output unit as a substitute for the at least one of the one or more characters.

Abstract: A video analysis apparatus may include a generating unit to generate at least one spatiotemporal pattern by performing pixel sampling on a plurality of frames in an input video, an extracting unit to extract at least one region of interest having a sinusoidal pattern from the at least one spatiotemporal pattern, and an analysis unit to perform a frequency analysis of the at least one region of interest to determine whether the input video includes a predetermined type of content.

Abstract: A character region extracting apparatus and method which extract a character region through the calculation of character stroke widths are provided. The method includes producing a binary image including a candidate character region from an original image; extracting a character outline from the candidate character region; acquires character outline information for the extracted outline; setting a representative character stroke width and a representative character angle in each of the pixels forming the outline, based on the character outline information; and determining a character existing region in the candidate character region by confirming the ratio of effective representative stroke widths and effective angles as compared to the entire length of the outline. Accordingly, it is possible to efficiently determine whether one or more characters exist in the candidate character region.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for generating an image for character region extraction. Upon input of an original image, a candidate character image is generated from the original image and a plurality of binarization maps for similar colors are generated from the generated candidate character image. A binarization map including a background region is selected from among the plurality of generated binarization maps, and the background region of the selected binarization map is expanded. The expanded background region is inverted to generate an image including a character region, thereby generating an image for accurately extracting the character region without missing a boundary portion of a character.
