Abstract

A method and an apparatus for controlling an angle of view of a vehicle-mounted camera includes obtaining a real-time status parameter of a vehicle, where the real-time status parameter is used to indicate a real-time driving status of the vehicle; and controlling the angle of view of the camera of the vehicle based on the real-time status parameter.

7 . (canceled)

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the real-time status parameter further comprises a steering wheel angle of the vehicle, and wherein controlling the angle of view based on the real-time status parameter further comprises:

controlling, when if the steering wheel angle is a counterclockwise-direction steering angle, the angle of view to deflect leftward by an angle corresponding to the steering wheel angle; and

controlling, when the steering wheel angle is a clockwise-direction steering angle, the angle of view to deflect rightward by the angle corresponding to the steering wheel angle, wherein a larger absolute value of the steering wheel angle indicates a larger deflection angle.

9 . An apparatus comprising:

obtain a real-time status parameter of a vehicle, wherein the real-time status parameter indicates a driving status of the vehicle, and wherein the real-time status parameter comprises an included angle between the vehicle and a horizontal plane; and

control an angle of view of a vehicle-mounted camera of the vehicle based on the real-time status parameter to cause the vehicle-mounted camera to be at a first angle of view when the included angle is a first included angle, and to cause the vehicle-mounted camera to be at a second angle of view when the included angle is a second included angle,

wherein the first included angle is less than the second included angle, and

wherein the first angle of view is greater than or equal to the second angle of view.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to control the angle of view based on the real-time status parameter and a preset status parameter interval.
