AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the driver does not have much freedom in selecting the parking target position relative to the vehicle.
Specifically, even through the parking mode can be selected, the parking target position is defined unambiguously in any parking mode, and it is not possible to select any desired parking target position.
However, in either of these methods, the driver is unable to set any desired parking target position in a simple manner without using input means that are not used during normal driving operation.
However, the parking assistance apparatus automatically makes this selection on the basis of the likelihood of the detection result, and this is not a system that allows the driver to set any desired parking target position.

Embodiment Construction

[0035]Embodiments of the parking assistance apparatus according to the present invention are described hereinbelow based on the drawings.

[0036]A parking assistance apparatus 10 is provided with a central processing unit (CPU) 5 for performing image recognition, route estimation, and other advanced calculation processes, and for handling the core of the parking assistance apparatus 10, as shown in FIG. 1. The CPU 5 uses programs and parameters stored in a program memory 6 to execute various calculation processes. The CPU 5 also primarily stores photographic images and the like in a working memory 7 as necessary to execute calculations. The program memory 6 and the working memory 7 are separate memories from the CPU 5 in the example shown here, but they may be integrated in the same package as the CPU 5. The parking assistance apparatus 10, together with the CPU 5, memory, and other surrounding circuitry, is configured as a drive-assisting electronic control unit (ECU) 9. The function...

Abstract

A parking assistance apparatus has a region detector capable of detecting a plurality of possible parking regions where a vehicle can park in at least one side to the left or right of the vehicle, a photographic image of the scenery surrounding the vehicle including the possible parking regions is displayed on a monitor device, the possible parking regions detected by the region detector are superimposed on the photographic image as graphic images showing parking target candidates in all of the corresponding positions, and one of the parking target candidates can be selected as a parking target on the basis of a command input from a driving device of the vehicle.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a National Stage of International Application No. PCT / JP2011 / 063127 filed Jun. 8, 2011, claiming priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-139258 filed Jun. 18, 2010, the contents of all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a parking assistance apparatus for assisting driving operation when a vehicle is parking.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Examples of systems that have been put into practical application as parking assistance apparatus for assisting driving operation during parking include a system for automatically steering and guiding a vehicle to a set parking target position, a system for indicating steering direction and steering amount to the driver, and other systems. Conventionally, when setting the parking target position, the driver has needed to operate input means provided inside the vehicle, such as a monitor device with s...
