METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CENTER FOLLOWING OF TRAVELING VEHICLE BY APPLYING LANE WEIGHT, AND APPARATUS THEREOF

The present disclosure provides a method for controlling center following of a traveling vehicle by applying a lane weight, and apparatus thereof. The method, which is performed by a lane recognition apparatus to control center following of a traveling vehicle by applying a lane weight, includes receiving image data including a lane during traveling of the traveling vehicle, recognizing left and right lanes in the image data, setting recognition weights for the left and right lanes based on a difference between left and right lane recognition values, calculating a central curvature and a central curvature change rate for center following of a traveling vehicle based on the left and right lane recognition weights, and transmitting a center following signal of a traveling vehicle based on the central curvature and the central curvature change rate.
