METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING A PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, PARKING GARAGE, AND VEHICLE
A method for operating a parking assistance system (105) for a vehicle (100) is proposed. The method comprises: a) projecting (S1) a predetermined pattern (PAT1-PAT6) onto a predetermined area (205), especially an area (205) by the vehicle (100), b) capturing (S2) an image, with at least a portion of the predetermined area (205) with the projection (220) being visible in the captured image, c) determining (S3) an object (210) arranged in the predetermined area (205) on the basis of the captured image, and d) updating (S4) a digital map of the surroundings (MAP0, MAP1) using the captured object (210).
A system for available parking space prediction within a parking area is provided. The system includes a vehicle-mounted image capture device configured to obtain an image of an object in or in proximity to a parking space within the parking area, the object including one or more of a component of a parked vehicle and a pedestrian in proximity to the parked vehicle. The system further includes a processor and a non-transitory memory storing instructions. The instructions cause the processor to receive the image from the image capture device, determine a characteristic of one or more of the component and the pedestrian in the image, and predict, using a machine learning algorithm and based on the characteristic, a probability that the parked vehicle will vacate the parking space within a predetermined period of time.
