Automatic parking system and automatic parking method
First Claim
1. An automatic parking system, comprising:
- a smart key recognition processor recognizing a smart key positioned in a first area and initiating an automatic parking mode upon recognition of the smart key;
a sensor unit acquiring images of an area surrounding a subject vehicle upon initiating of the automatic parking mode, and converting the acquired images into external images and synthesizing the external images;
a parking space recognizing sensor periodically receiving the external images and sequentially comparing consecutive external images using an image recognition technology to recognize parking areas; and
a controller calculating, a moving path between a current position of the subject vehicle and an optimal parking area among the parking areas and controlling the subject vehicle based on the moving path,wherein the parking space recognizing sensor detects the parking areas in consideration of a length and a width of the subject vehicle,wherein a length of the optimal parking area is determined based on the length of the subject vehicle and a width of the optimal parking area is determined based on the width of the subject vehicle.

Abstract
There is provided an automatic parking system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The automatic parking system includes: a smart key recognition processor recognizing a smart key positioned in a first area; a sensor unit acquiring images around a subject vehicle if the smart key is recognized, and converting the acquired image into external images and synthesizing the images; a parking space recognizing sensor periodically receiving the external images and sequentially comparing the consecutive external images using an image recognition technology to recognize parking areas; and a controller calculating a moving path between a current position of the subject vehicle and an optimal parking area among the parking areas and controlling the subject vehicle based on the moving path, in which the parking space recognizing sensor may detect the parking areas in consideration of a length and a width of the subject vehicle.

10. An automatic parking method for automatically parking a subject vehicle, the automatic parking method comprising:
-
activating an automatic parking mode upon recognizing a smart key positioned in a first area; obtaining images of an area surrounding the subject vehicle upon recognition of the smart key, and converting the acquired images into external images and synthesizing the external images; detecting parking areas using the external images around the subject vehicle and a length and a width of the subject vehicle; selecting an optimal parking area among the parking areas; and automatically parking the subject vehicle in the optimal parking area, wherein in the detecting of the parking areas, the parking areas are recognized by sequentially comparing consecutive external images using an image recognition technology, wherein a length of the optimal parking area is determined based on the length of the subject vehicle and a width of the optimal parking area is determined based on the width of the subject vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
