1. A vehicle comprising:
a communicator configured to perform communication with an infrastructure and receive image information of a first camera of the infrastructure;
a display;
a second camera; and
a processor configured to:
upon first image information of the first camera of the infrastructure being received through the communicator, recognize a road area and an obstacle based on the received first image information;
recognize a hidden area, in which a field of view is obstructed by the obstacle, of the road area; and
when a proportion of the hidden area to the road area of the first image information is greater than or equal to a reference proportion, transmit an adjustment command of the first camera to the infrastructure, and when the proportion of the hidden area to the road area of the first image information is less than the reference proportion, match an image of the hidden area to second image information of the second camera to generate a top view image, and control display of the generated top view,
wherein the processor is configured to request provision of image information about the hidden area from the infrastructure, and generate the top view image based on the image information about the hidden area transmitted from the infrastructure.
