VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

Disclosed are apparatus and method for determining a mask region for a side field of view of a vehicle. A vehicle may include an image capturing device configured to acquire a plurality of images associated with a side field of view of the vehicle. The vehicle may generate, based on accumulated edge values, a first map and generate, based on accumulated brightness difference values, a second map, wherein the accumulated edge values and the accumulated brightness difference values are obtained by processing the plurality of images; determine a boundary between a vehicle region and a detection region in the side field of view based on: at least one first value for at least one pixel of the first map; and at least one second value for at least one pixel of the second map; and determine, based on the determined boundary, a mask region of the side field of view.
