CLOTHING TREATMENT APPARATUS HAVING CAMERA, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

The present application relates to a laundry treating apparatus. More specifically, the present application relates to a laundry treating apparatus having a camera and a control method thereof. One embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a laundry washing apparatus, the method including: driving a drum to move laundry inside the drum; capturing an inside of the drum while the laundry moves over time, thereby to generate time-series images of the laundry movement; identifying a current movement state of the laundry based on the time-series images; feedback-controlling revolutions per minute (RPM) of the drum based on the movement state of the laundry to increase a laundry spread value; and after the laundry spread value has increased, further increasing the RPM of the drum to perform a high speed spinning process.
