1. An apparatus for correcting an image, the apparatus comprising: a detecting unit configured to: scan a vertical line of an image by a scan unit, the image captured by a camera, the scan unit based on a number of pixels of the camera for a calculation speed; detect first image data corresponding to the vertical line of the image, the vertical line having hue values greater than a saturation value of RGB (Red-Green-Blue) hue; detect second image data having hue values greater than the saturation value from the scanned vertical line, wherein the second image data is an approximately circular image having the hue values greater than the saturation value; recognize the second image data as a light source if the second image data having the hue values greater than the saturation value is within 10% to 30% of a corresponding vertical line; and determine whether the vertical line extends in a substantially straight direction from an approximate center of the recognized light source towards an edge of the image; and a correction unit configured to correct the first image data in response to the determination that the vertical line extends in the substantially straight direction from the approximate center of the recognized light source towards the edge of the image, wherein said edge is approximately perpendicular to the vertical line, wherein the detecting unit is further configured to determine whether the vertical line is vertically positioned about the approximate center of the recognized light source, and wherein the correction unit is further configured to correct only the first image data corresponding to the vertical line with image data adjacent to the first image data in response to the determination that the vertical line is vertically positioned with respect to the approximate center of the recognized light source.
