APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING A CENTER LINE OF INTERSECTION

摘要

An apparatus and a method for estimating a center line of an intersection are provided to prevent traffic accidents generated around the intersection and to display the direction information of real vehicle navigation. An apparatus for estimating a center line of an intersection is composed of: a road information provision unit(120) for providing information about the road on which a vehicle runs, on the basis of position information of the traveling vehicle; a crosswalk recognition unit(140) for recognizing a crosswalk on the basis of the input image of the crosswalk and road information and obtaining the distance from the traveling vehicle to the crosswalk; and an intersection estimating unit(150) for estimating the center line of the intersection on the basis of the lane width of the road and the number of lanes transmitted from the road information provision unit, the width and shape of the crosswalk, the width of the crosswalk, and distance to the crosswalk.
