Abstract
A plurality of different reference images for specifying a target parking space is preliminarily stored. The different reference images are generated by using an imaging device that captures an image around a subject vehicle. After that, when the subject vehicle is parked in the target parking space, the current image captured around the subject vehicle is verified with at least one reference image of the plurality of different reference images to recognize the target parking space, and the travel operation of the subject vehicle to the target parking space is autonomously controlled based on positional information of the recognized target parking space.
Claims8
A parking assistance method comprising:
- preliminarily storing a plurality of different reference images for specifying a target parking space, the plurality of different reference images being generated by capturing an image around a subject vehicle using an imaging device in a state in which the subject vehicle is parked in the target parking space, the imaging device being equipped in the subject vehicle;
- after that when parking the subject vehicle in the target parking space, verifying a current image captured around the subject vehicle with at least one reference image of the plurality of different reference images to recognize the target parking space;
- and
- autonomously controlling a travel operation of the subject vehicle to the target parking space based on positional information of the recognized target parking space.
A parking assistance device comprising:
- a memory configured to preliminarily store a plurality of different reference images including a target parking space, the plurality of different reference images being generated by capturing an image around a subject vehicle using an imaging device in a state in which the subject vehicle is parked in the target parking space, the imaging device being equipped in the subject vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- after that when parking the subject vehicle in the target parking space, verify a current image captured around the subject vehicle with at least one reference image of the plurality of different reference images to recognize the target parking space;
- and
- autonomously control a travel operation of the subject vehicle to the target parking space based on positional information of the recognized target parking space.
