Abstract

An adaptive rearview mirror adjustment method includes obtaining a spatial position of a human eye of a driver of a current vehicle and a spatial position of a target rearview mirror, obtaining a horizontal field of view of the driver in the target rearview mirror based on the spatial position of the human eye of the driver and a spatial position of a target rearview mirror, obtaining a next-vehicle image, obtaining a first auxiliary angle of a target next vehicle based on the next-vehicle image, calculating a second auxiliary angle based on the horizontal field of view, the spatial position of the human eye, and the position of the target rearview mirror, obtaining a horizontal adjustment angle of the target rearview mirror based on the first auxiliary angle and the second auxiliary angle, and adjusting a horizontal angle of the target rearview mirror based on the horizontal adjustment angle.
