The present invention relates to a device to control the flickering of an emergency light by using a camera. The device includes: an input part receiving an image of the front side of a vehicle; a speed determining part determining whether the speed of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a threshold speed; a lane detecting part detecting a lane from the image; an emergency light detecting part detecting an emergency light from the image if the speed of the vehicle is equal to or greater than the threshold speed; and a control part making the emergency light flicker if the emergency light is detected. The emergency light detecting part detects the emergency light based on the distance between the vehicle and a group of lane and emergency light candidates. Therefore, since the flickering of an emergency light of a preceding vehicle is sensed through a camera, the flickering of the emergency light of the vehicle of the user can be automatically controlled.
본 발명은 비상등점멸 제어장치에 관한 것으로, 차량 전방 영상을 입력받는 입력부, 차속이 임계 차속 이상인지 판단하는 차속판단부, 입력받은 영상에서 차선을 검출하는 차선검출부, 차속이 임계 차속 이상인 경우, 입력받은 영상에서 비상등을 검출하는 비상등 검출부, 및 비상등이 검출되는 경우, 비상등을 점멸하는 제어부를 포함하고, 비상등 검출부는 차선 및 비상등 후보군의 차량과의 거리를 이용하여 비상등을 검출하는 것을 특징으로 함으로써 카메라를 이용하여 선행차량의 비상등점멸을 감지하여 운전자 차량의 비상등점멸을 자동으로 제어할 수 있다.
