Abstract
A method and an apparatus for vehicle position detection are provided. An image collecting device installed on a target vehicle is used to capture a region in front of the target vehicle at a current moment under a fixed viewing angle, to acquire a real image. Then, a virtual image under a preset viewing angle is generated based on the real image. The virtual image includes effective features of a side vehicle, and the side vehicle is accurately recognized based on the effective features, thereby determining position information of the side vehicle, so as to prevent accidents such as a collision between the target vehicle and the side vehicle.
