  • Publication number: 20240367644
    Abstract: A parking assist system according to an embodiment includes a processor connected to a memory. The processor detects a parking frame around a vehicle based on a photographed image obtained by photographing surroundings of the vehicle. The processor detects a parking space based on ultrasonic transmitted waves and reflected waves of the ultrasonic transmitted waves. The processor determines accuracy of the parking frame. The processor determines, based on the accuracy of the parking frame, a method of calculating a target parking position using the parking frame and the parking space. The processor calculates the target parking position based on the determination on the method of calculating the target parking position. The processor generates a route based on the target parking position.

  • Publication number: 20240280371
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a specifier, a guide screen generator, and an output controller. The specifier specifies an autonomous traveling startable point on a teaching path. The teaching path extends from a predetermined position to a target position in a real space. The guide screen generator generates a guide screen for guiding a moving body to the autonomous traveling startable point. The output controller outputs the guide screen before start of autonomous traveling.

  • Publication number: 20240034306
    Abstract: A parking assistance device includes a hardware processor coupled to a memory. The hardware processor receives a camera image and performs image processing with the camera image as an input. The hardware processor senses a situation around a vehicle on the basis of the camera image or a sensing image generated by the image processing. The hardware processor performs parking assistance including a plurality of stages on the basis of the situation around the vehicle. The hardware processor restricts the image processing in accordance with the stages.

  • Publication number: 20230316777
    Abstract: The image processing device of the present disclosure generates an overhead view image in which a captured image capturing a periphery of a vehicle is converted into an image from a viewpoint above the vehicle, detects a straight line from the overhead view image, removes a straight line extending radially from the detected straight lines based on the position of a camera, and extracts a parking frame from the remaining straight lines. Accordingly, the image processing device compares the feature amount corrected based on the movement amount of the vehicle with the feature amount of the straight line of the overhead view image at a later time point, and removes the non-corresponding straight line to extract a parking frame and appropriately extract the parking frame.
