Vehicle and Control Method Thereof - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18318180 titled 'Vehicle and Control Method Thereof

Simplified Explanation

The embodiment vehicle described in the patent application includes a camera, a preprocessor, an image processor, and a determination unit.

• The preprocessor sets a region of interest (ROI) in an image of an area outside the vehicle obtained by the camera.
• The image processor obtains an illuminance value of a pixel belonging to the ROI in each frame of the image.
• The determination unit determines whether or not each frame of the image has low illuminance based on the illuminance value.
