Method and Apparatus for Processing Image Data

A method for processing image data captured by a camera in a vertical image plane includes extracting a feature map from the image data captured by the camera in the vertical image plane by a feature extractor, adjusting a resolution of the extracted feature map depending on a position of a portion of the image data in a horizontal image plane relative to the camera to obtain a feature map with adjusted resolution, and transforming the portion of the image data from the vertical image plane to the horizontal image plane based on the feature map with the adjusted resolution.
