Abstract

Systems and techniques are disclosed for providing driver assistance in a vehicle. A driver assistance apparatus includes a stereo camera configured to acquire stereo images of a view ahead of a vehicle, and a processor configured to generate a depth map based on the acquired stereo images and to determine whether a road segment that is within the view ahead of the vehicle is an uphill road segment or a downhill road segment based on the generated depth map.
