Systems, vehicles, and methods for vehicle environment detection based on blocked view

Abstract

Embodiments of systems and methods for vehicle environment detection include a vehicle and one or more processors. The vehicle includes a camera operable to generate an image of an environment surrounding the vehicle. The environment includes one or more parking spaces and an object removably attached to the vehicle. The one or more processors are operable to identify the object, generate, using a pre-trained depth algorithm, a depth map based on the image, generate a boundary of the parking spaces based on the depth map excluding the object, determine whether a distance between the boundary of the parking spaces and the vehicle is less than a threshold value, and output an alert in response to determining that the distance is less than the threshold value.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
