Abstract
In an automatic parking system, a marker recognizing unit performs recognition of a predetermined number of markers located respectively at predetermined locations in a parking garage. A marker deter miner performs determination of whether there is a problem in recognition of at least one marker in the predetermined number of markers in accordance with information resulting from the recognition performed by the marker detector. An output unit outputs marker state information resulting from the determination performed by the marker determiner.
Claims12
An automatic parking system for navigating a vehicle in a parking garage to park the vehicle in a parking space, the automatic parking system comprising:
- a marker recognizing unit configured to perform recognition of a predetermined number of markers located respectively at predetermined locations in the parking garage, each of the predetermined number of markers serving as a navigation landmark to navigate the vehicle;
- a marker determiner configured to perform determination of whether there is a problem in recognition of at least one marker in the predetermined number of markers in accordance with information resulting from the recognition performed by the marker detector;
- and
- an output unit configured to output marker state information resulting from the determination performed by the marker determiner.
A method of determining whether there is a problem in recognition of a marker used for navigating a vehicle in a parking garage to park the vehicle in a parking space, the method comprising:
- performing recognition of a predetermined number of markers located respectively at predetermined locations in the parking garage, each of the predetermined number of markers serving as a navigation landmark to navigate the vehicle;
- performing determination of whether there is a problem in recognition of at least one marker in the predetermined number of markers in accordance with information resulting from the recognition performed by the marker detector;
- and
- outputting marker state information resulting from the determination performed by the marker determiner.
A computer-readable program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
- and
- a set of computer program instructions stored in the computer-readable storage medium, the instructions causing a computer to:
- perform recognition of a predetermined number of markers located respectively at predetermined locations in the parking garage, each of the predetermined number of markers serving as a navigation landmark to navigate the vehicle;
- perform determination of whether there is a problem in recognition of at least one marker in the predetermined number of markers in accordance with information resulting from the recognition performed by the marker detector;
- and
- output marker state information resulting from the determination performed by the marker determiner.
