Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus, including a display data generation unit configured to receive an image obtained by imaging surroundings of a vehicle, generate display data representing at least one parking division area, and superimpose the display data on the image, wherein the display data include an upward extension surface extending from a vehicle contact surface of the at least one parking division area.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a parking space analyzer configured to:
- check a parkable/non-parkable state of each parking division area of at least one parking division area to determine a parking status of the at least one parking division area,
- wherein the parking status of each parking division area is determined in the following sequence of steps:
- 1) Determine the parkable/non-parkable state of the at least one parking division area,
- 2) If the parkable/non-parkable state of the at least one parking division area cannot be clearly determined, then the parking status of the at least one parking division area is designated as unknown, and
- 3) If the parkable/non-parkable state of the at least one parking division area is determined as parkable, then the parking status of the at least one parking division area is designated as parkable, and
- 4) If the parkable/non-parkable state of the at least one parking division area is determined as non-parkable, then the parking status of the at least one parking division area is designated as non-parkable;
- and
- a display data generator configured to:
- receive an image obtained by imaging surroundings of a vehicle;
- generate display data representing the state of at least one parking division area;
- and
- superimpose the display data on the image,
- wherein the display data includes an upward extension surface extending from a vehicle contact surface of the at least one parking division area.

A method for presenting a parkable space to a driver of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- checking a parkable/non-parkable state of each parking division area of at least one parking division area to determine a parking status of the at least one parking division area,
- wherein the parking status of each parking division area is determined in the following sequence of steps:
- 1) Determine the parkable/non-parkable state of the at least one parking division area,
- 2) If the parkable/non-parkable state of the at least one parking division area cannot be clearly determined, then the parking status of the at least one parking division area is designated as unknown, and
- 3) If the parkable/non-parkable state of the at least one parking division area is determined as parkable, then the parking status of the at least one parking division area is designated as parkable, and
- 4) If the parkable/non-parkable state of the at least one parking division area is determined as non-parkable, then the parking status of the at least one parking division area is designated as non-parkable;
- and
- receiving an image obtained by imaging surroundings of the vehicle;
- generating space-identifying display data representing at least one parking division area, the space-identifying display data comprising an upward extension surface extending from a vehicle contact surface of the at least one parking division area;
- and
- superimposing the display data on the image,
- wherein the display data includes an upward extension surface extending from a vehicle contact surface of the at least one parking division area.

- 3) If the parkable/non-parkable state of the at least one parking division area is determined as parkable, then the parking status of the at least one parking division area is designated as parkable, and
- 4) If the parkable/non-parkable state of the at least one parking division area is determined as non-parkable, then the parking status of the at least one parking division area is designated as non-parkable;
- and
- receiving an image obtained by imaging surroundings of a vehicle;
- generating space-identifying display data representing at least one parking division area, the space-identifying display data comprising an upward extension surface extending from a vehicle contact surface of the at least one parking division area;
- and
- superimposing the display data on the image,
- wherein the display data includes an upward extension surface extending from a vehicle contact surface of the at least one parking division area.
