    Abstract: An apparatus for assisting driving of a host vehicle provides stable control of the host vehicle by using road conditions including intersections, crosswalks and the like, forward lane markings, and a preceding vehicle. The apparatus includes an image sensor to capture images of an area in front of the host vehicle, and a controller configured to recognize a road section having no lane markings on a drive path, or recognize forward lane markings. The controller performs lateral control of the host vehicle selectively based on the forward lane markings and the recognized preceding vehicle according to whether the road section having no lane markings is recognized.

    Abstract: Provided is a back warning apparatus and a method and control system therefor. The back warning apparatus includes an image sensor installed at a rear of a vehicle, and a controller that obtains a rearview image via the image sensor when the vehicle moves rearward, recognizes the boundary of a free space in the rearview image and generates a surface profile associated with the height/depth of a surface behind the vehicle, determines the attribute of a rear object based on the boundary of the free space and the surface profile, and outputs a warning by determining whether a hazard exists in association with the attribute of the rear object based on the information associated with the vehicle. According to the present disclosure, information associated with a rear object having a short height is provided, thereby making effective use of a parking space and preventing damage to the bodywork of the vehicle.
