APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING USER GESTURE FOR VEHICLE

摘要

An apparatus and a method for recognizing a user gesture for a vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes an infrared imaging device that is configured to photograph a portion of a user body in a gesture recognition region and generate a plurality of images and an infrared emitting device that is configured to emit infrared rays toward the gesture recognition region. In addition, a controller is configured to adjust photographing times of the infrared imaging device, infrared emitting times and infrared emitting periods of the infrared emitting device, detect target objects that correspond to the portion of the user body from the plurality of images, synchronize the photographing times of the infrared imaging device with the infrared emitting times of the infrared emitting device, and determine a distance between the infrared imaging device and the target objects using brightness of the objects included in the plurality of images.
