Method for detecting at least one parking space for a vehicle

A method comprising:

• sensing objects in an environment of the vehicle using at least one sensor of the vehicle, the driving-environment sensor transmitting signals that the objects reflects as echo signals received by the at least one sensor;
• identifying parking-space-delimiting objects of the sensed objects by evaluating the echo signals, wherein the evaluating includes classifying the parking-space-delimiting objects through characteristic structures of the echo signals;
• based on the classification of the parking-space-delimiting objects, determining a quality of a parking space defined by the parking-space-delimiting objects;
• and
• recognizing the parking space as a possible parking space for the vehicle responsive to the quality of the parking space being at least a threshold value.

A parking-assist system of a vehicle, the system comprising:

• at least one sensor;
• and
• a processor;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• sense objects in an environment of the vehicle by using the at least one sensor to transmit signals that the objects reflects as echo signals received by the at least one sensor;
• identify parking-space-delimiting objects of the sensed objects by evaluating the echo signals, wherein the evaluation includes classifying the parking-space-delimiting objects through characteristic structures of the echo signals;
• based on the classification of the parking-space-delimiting objects, determine a quality of a parking space defined by the parking-space-delimiting objects;
• and
• recognize the parking space as a possible parking space for the vehicle responsive to the quality of the parking space being at least a threshold value.
