  • Publication number: 20230094446
    Abstract: A parking assistance device is configured to assist parking of a vehicle. The parking assistance device includes: a communication interface; a processor; and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the parking assistance device to perform operations. The operations include: obtaining an image of a parking frame through the communication interface, the image being captured by the image capturing device provided in the vehicle; and determining, based on a number of one or more occupants in the vehicle, a correction value of a position of each of at least one end point of the parking frame detected from the image.

  • Patent number: 9475492
    Abstract: Provided is a parking assist device such that, when a vehicle has reached an area corresponding to a backing start position, the angle of a current position with respect to a target parking position is placed in an appropriate range so as to facilitate subsequent guidance to the target parking position. In the parking assist device, when a vehicle (601) has reached any of a plurality of backing start positions (603 to 605), a state control unit (112) determines whether the angle of a current position with respect to a target parking position (602) is appropriate for guidance to a target parking position (602), and, if not, displays an angle correction indicating icon (606) on an image display means (102) to provide an indication for correcting the angle.

  • Patent number: 8655019
    Abstract: Disclosed is a driving support display device that composites and displays images acquired from a plurality of cameras, whereby images which are easy for the user to understand and which are accurate in the areas near the borders of partial images are provided. An image composition unit (41) formulates a bird's eye perspective image on the basis of a mapping table reference unit (45) using images of the area around the vehicle acquired from a plurality of cameras (31). An obstacle detection unit (42) detects obstacles in the images acquired by the plurality of cameras (31). On the basis of the obstacle information detected by the obstacle detection unit (42), an obstacle trajectory prediction unit (43) predicts the trajectory of the obstacle and determines the borders so that the borders of the obstacle and the composite image from the plurality of cameras (31) do not overlap.
