PARKING ASSIST METHOD AND PARKING ASSIST DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326912 titled 'PARKING ASSIST METHOD AND PARKING ASSIST DEVICE
The parking assist method described in the patent application allows for autonomous driving of a vehicle based on the driving behavior of a human driver, known as teacher driving.
- Acquiring captured images from an imaging device in the vehicle, which continuously captures the surroundings of the vehicle during teacher driving.
- Recording the travel route taken during teacher driving.
- Generating an enlarged overhead image of the display target range, covering the travel route and its surroundings, based on the captured images.
- Displaying the first enlarged overhead image on a display device for the driver to view.
