Abstract:
1. A system for detecting a traveling state, comprising: an image receiving unit to acquire two consecutive images and to detect first traveling information from image information regarding each of the two consecutive images; a traveling information processing unit connected to a driver moving in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the images are acquired, the traveling information processing unit to detect second traveling information from the driver; and a control unit to determine the traveling state based on the first traveling information and the second traveling information, wherein the first traveling information includes information indicating a rectilinear movement state using a difference in the image information between the two consecutive images, the second traveling information includes integrated distance information indicating a distance that the driver moves, and the control unit determines that the traveling state is abnormal when the first traveling information indicates that a rectilinear movement is not performed and the second traveling information exceeds a predetermined threshold value, wherein, when the traveling state is determined to be abnormal, the control unit is capable of moving the driver backward to achieve a normal traveling state.
