A vanishing point correction method may include the steps of: (a) extracting a contour candidate point of an object considered as the forward vehicle from the image taken by the camera; (b) tracking a movement of the contour candidate point over time; (c) determining whether the contour candidate point belongs to the vehicle; (d) setting the contour candidate point to a vehicle contour point of the forward vehicle, when it is determined at the step (c) that the contour candidate point belongs to the vehicle; (e) calculating a variation in width between vehicle contour points at the same height among the vehicle contour points; and (f) calculating a variation of the vanishing point.
