INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18267436 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for parking assistance that utilizes a 3D semantic segmentation image to locate available parking spaces and plan a path for a vehicle to park.

  • 3D semantic segmentation image is generated with depth data and class information for each pixel unit.
  • Available parking space is identified based on the 3D semantic segmentation image.
  • Path to the parking space is planned and vehicle is controlled to park.

Potential Applications:

  • Autonomous parking systems in vehicles.
  • Parking guidance systems in parking lots or garages.

Problems Solved:

  • Difficulty in finding parking spaces in crowded environments.
  • Ensuring smooth and efficient parking maneuvers.

Benefits:

  • Quick and accurate parking assistance.
  • Reduced stress and time spent on parking.
  • Improved safety and convenience for drivers.


Original Abstract Submitted

To implement quick and smooth parking assistance close to a human sense without being affected by an environment of a parking space. A 3D semantic segmentation image having a plurality of pixel units, each pixel unit of the plurality of pixel units including the depth data and class information, are generated, an available parking space is searched for on the basis of the 3D semantic segmentation image, and a path to the searched parking space is planned and a vehicle is controlled. The present disclosure can be applied to a parking assistance system.
