Disclosed are a rear-view camera for a vehicle and a control method thereof. According to one embodiment of the present invention, provided is a method for controlling a rear-view camera for a vehicle, which comprises the following steps of: determining whether a vehicle is traveling backward or in a rear-view capturing mode; allowing an opening and closing unit included in an inner housing disposed inside the vehicle to be opened when the vehicle is traveling backward or in a rear-view capturing mode; allowing a camera and a fluid injection unit accommodated by the inner housing to be drawn out to the outside of the vehicle as the opening and closing unit is opened; allowing the camera to capture an image of an area around the vehicle; allowing the fluid injection unit to inject a washer fluid and air respectively to a lens surface of the camera; allowing the opening and closing unit to be closed when traveling backward or the rear view capturing mode of the vehicle is ended; and allowing the camera and the fluid injection unit to be inserted into the vehicle as the opening and closing unit is closed. Accordingly, continuous exposure to contaminants can be avoided and the contaminants which can be attached to the lens surface of the camera are removed.
차량용 후방카메라 및 그 제어방법을 개시한다. 본 개시의 일 실시예에 의하면, 차량이 후진주행 중인지 또는 후방촬영 모드(mode)인지 여부를 판단하는 과정; 차량이 후진주행 중 또는 후방촬영 모드인 경우, 차량의 내부에 배치된 내부하우징(internal housing)이 포함하는 개폐부(opening and closing unit)가 열리는 과정; 개폐부가 열림에 따라 내부하우징이 수용하는 카메라(camera) 및 유체분사부(fluid injection unit)가 차량의 외부로 인출되는 과정; 카메라가 차량의 주변 영역을 촬영하는 과정; 유체분사부가 카메라의 렌즈표면(lens surface)을 향하여 와셔액(washer fluid) 및 공기(air)를 각각 분사하는 과정; 차량이 후진주행 중 또는 후방촬영 모드가 종료된 경우, 개폐부가 닫히는 과정; 및 개폐부가 닫힘에 따라 카메라 및 유체분사부가 차량의 내부로 인입되는 과정을 포함하는 것을 특징으로 하는 차량용 후방카메라 제어방법을 제공한다.
