Parking assist system with annotated map generation
First Claim
1. A driver assistance system of a vehicle, said driver assistance system comprising:
- at least one sensor disposed at a vehicle equipped with said driver assistance system and having a field of sensing exterior of the equipped vehicle;
a sensor data processor operable to process sensor data captured by said at least one sensor;
map data derived at least in part from a navigational system of the equipped vehicle, wherein the map data comprises data that is at least one of (i) stored in memory of the equipped vehicle, (ii) downloaded to the equipped vehicle from a remote map data source and (iii) generated by a GPS system of the equipped vehicle;
a display device operable to display a master map derived from the map data for viewing by a driver of the equipped vehicle operating the equipped vehicle;
wherein, when the driver of the equipped vehicle is operating the equipped vehicle, said sensor data processor receives sensor data captured by said at least one sensor that is representative of a scene exterior the equipped vehicle;
wherein, responsive to processing of said sensor data by said sensor data processor, said system determines a parking space existing in the scene exterior the equipped vehicle and generates an indication label for the determined parking space existing in the scene exterior the equipped vehicle;
wherein, responsive to determination of the parking space existing in the scene exterior the equipped vehicle, said sensor data processor uses said sensor data and the map data to annotate the master map of the scene exterior the equipped vehicle being displayed by said display device and said system adds the generated indication label to the displayed master map to indicate the determined parking space existing in the scene exterior the equipped vehicle; and
wherein, while the driver is operating the equipped vehicle, said display device displays the annotated master map for viewing by the driver of the equipped vehicle who is operating the equipped vehicle.

Abstract
A driver assistance system of a vehicle includes at least one vehicle environmental sensor having a field of sensing exterior of the vehicle. A sensor data processor is operable to process sensor data captured by the sensor. When the vehicle is operated, the sensor data processor receives captured sensor data that is representative of the vehicle surrounding scene. The sensor data processor fuses the sensor data with map data to generate an annotated master map of the scene captured by the sensor. A display device is operable to display information for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. The displayed information is derived at least in part from the annotated master map and is displayed for viewing by the driver of the vehicle who is executing a maneuver of the vehicle.
