Method for parking a motor vehicle automatically picks up environmental detail around the vehicle with video cameras to show on a touch screen used by a driver to select a desired parking space to move into automatically

摘要

Parked vehicles (2) are left by a curb (3) with two identifiable parking spaces (6) free. A vehicle (1) wishing to park has four video cameras (4) on the sides and front and back. An image analyzer/mixer shows images from these cameras as a top view picture of the vehicle's surroundings on a screen that shows the vehicle's image (11), the curb's image (13) and vacant spaces. Touching the screen at a spot (16) for a free parking space selects an automatic parking control.
