Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage medium associated with a computing device;
program instructions to receive images of a plurality of adjacent vehicles parked directly adjacent to an open parking space;
program instructions to determine visual factors and non-visual factors of the plurality of adjacent vehicles based on the images by obtaining data from a dedicated database;
program instructions to determine a parking position within the open parking space based on the visual and non-visual factors; and
program instructions to output information regarding the parking position,wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computing device, images of adjacent vehicles parked directly adjacent to an open parking space; determining, by the computing device, visual factors and non-visual factors of the adjacent vehicles based on the images; determining, by the computing device, risk scores for each of the adjacent vehicles based on the visual factor and the non-visual factors; determining, by the computing device, a parking position within the open parking space based on the risk scores; and outputting, by the computing device, information regarding the parking position.

10. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, by a computing device, images of a plurality of adjacent vehicles parked directly adjacent to an open parking space when a user of an autonomous vehicle instructs the autonomous vehicle to park in the open parking space; determining, by the computing device, visual factors and non-visual factors of the plurality of adjacent vehicles based on the images; determining, by the computing device, a parking position within the parking space based on the visual factors and non-visual factors; and outputting, by the computing device, information regarding the parking position to the user of the autonomous vehicle or to a vehicle interface system of the autonomous vehicle to cause the autonomous vehicle to park in the open space in accordance with the determined parking position. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
