Driver in the loop parallel parking assistance system

A method for performing a parking assist algorithm comprising:

• generating, by an image processor, an augmented video stream including an overhead view video stream, a graphical representation of a host vehicle, and a first arrow for indicating an initial position of the host vehicle;
• generating, by a processor, a first control signal indicative of a first steering angle in response to receiving a first confirmation signal from a user interface indicative of a confirmation of the initial position of the host vehicle;
• generating, by the processor, a second control signal indicative of a second steering angle in response to a change in yaw reaching a first desired yaw;
• generating, by the processor, a second arrow to be overlaid on the overhead view video stream indicative of a distance between the host vehicle and a curb;
• generating, by the processor, a third control signal indicative of a third steering angle in response to receiving a second confirmation signal from the user interface indicative of a confirmation of the distance between the host vehicle and the curb;
• and
• providing, by the processor, a user feedback indicative of a completion of the parking assist algorithm in response to the change in yaw reaching a second desired yaw.

A vehicle control system comprising:

• a vehicle camera system for generating an overhead view video of a host vehicle environment;
• an image processor for generating an augmented image including the overhead view video, a graphical representation of a host vehicle, a first arrow and a second arrow;
• a display for displaying the augmented image;
• a user input for generating a first user confirmation signal in response to a first user input and a second user confirmation signal in response to a second user input;
• a processor for:
• coupling a request to display the first arrow to the image processor indicative of an initial position of the host vehicle;
• generating a first control signal indicative of a first steering angle in response to receiving a first confirmation signal from a user interface indicative of a confirmation of the initial position of the host vehicle;
• generating, by the processor, a second control signal indicative of a second steering angle in response to a change in yaw reaching a first desired yaw;
• coupling a request to display the second arrow to the image processor indicative of a distance between the host vehicle and a curb;
• generating, by the processor, a third control signal indicative of a third steering angle in response to receiving a second confirmation signal from the user interface indicative of a confirmation of the distance between the host vehicle and the curb;
• and
• providing, by the processor, a user feedback indicative of a completion of the parking assist algorithm in response to the change in yaw reaching a second desired yaw.
