Around-view-monitoring-based automatic parking system using parking line detection

Abstract

This paper introduces an automatic parking method using an around view monitoring system. In this method, parking lines are extracted from the camera images, and a route to a targeted parking slot is created. The vehicle then tracks this route to park. The proposed method extracts lines from images using a line filter and a Hough transform, and it uses a convolutional neural network to robustly extract parking lines from the environment. In addition, a parking path consisting of curved and straight sections is created and used to control the vehicle. Perpendicular, angle, and parallel parking paths can be created; however, parking control is applied according to the shape of each parking slot. The results of our experiments confirm that the proposed method has an average offset of 10.3 cm and an average heading angle error of 0.94◦.
