VEHICLE VISION SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC PARKING FUNCTION
First Claim
1. A vehicle parking system for a vehicle, said vehicle parking system comprising:
- a plurality of exterior viewing cameras disposed at a vehicle, each camera of said plurality of exterior viewing cameras having a respective field of view exterior of the vehicle;
a control comprising an image processor operable to process image data captured by said cameras;
wherein said vehicle parking system learns a path of travel from a drop off location to a parking location during a learning maneuver that comprises a driver driving the vehicle from the drop off location to the parking location; and
wherein said control, upon the driver exiting the vehicle when the vehicle is positioned at the drop off location and at least in part responsive to the learned path of travel, controls the vehicle to autonomously drive the vehicle from the drop off location to the parking location, and wherein said control, responsive at least in part to image processing by said image processor of image data captured by at least one of said cameras, parks the vehicle at the parking location.

Abstract
A vehicle parking system of a vehicle includes a plurality of exterior viewing cameras and a control having an image processor operable to process image data captured by the cameras. The vehicle parking system learns a path of travel from a drop off location to a parking location during a learning maneuver that includes a driver driving the vehicle from the drop off location to the parking location. The control, upon the driver exiting the vehicle when the vehicle is positioned at the drop off location and at least in part responsive to the learned path of travel, controls the vehicle to autonomously drive the vehicle from the drop off location to the parking location. The control, responsive at least in part to image processing by the image processor of image data captured by at least one of the cameras, parks the vehicle at the parking location.

14. A vehicle parking system for a vehicle, said vehicle parking system comprising:
-
a plurality of exterior viewing cameras disposed at a vehicle, each camera of said plurality of exterior viewing cameras having a respective field of view exterior of the vehicle; a control comprising an image processor operable to process image data captured by said cameras; wherein, responsive at least in part to actuation of a first user input, said vehicle parking system learns a path of travel from a drop off location to a parking location during a learning maneuver that comprises a driver, after actuating the first user input, driving the vehicle from the drop off location to the parking location; and wherein said control, responsive to the driver actuating a second user input when the vehicle is positioned at the drop off location, controls the vehicle to follow the learned path of travel to autonomously drive the vehicle from the drop off location to the parking location, and wherein said control, responsive at least in part to image processing by said image processor of image data captured by at least one of said cameras, parks the vehicle at the parking location. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A vehicle parking system for a vehicle, said vehicle parking system comprising:
-
a plurality of exterior viewing cameras disposed at a vehicle, each camera of said plurality of exterior viewing cameras having a respective field of view exterior of the vehicle; a control comprising an image processor operable to process image data captured by said cameras; wherein said vehicle parking system learns a path of travel from a drop off location to a parking structure during a learning maneuver that comprises a driver driving the vehicle from the drop off location to the parking structure; and wherein said control, upon the driver exiting the vehicle when the vehicle is positioned at the drop off location and at least in part responsive to the learned path of travel, controls the vehicle to autonomously drive the vehicle from the drop off location to the parking structure; wherein, after the vehicle is autonomously driven to the parking structure, said control parks the vehicle at a parking space of the parking structure responsive at least in part to signals from a parking system of the parking structure; and wherein, responsive at least in part to signals from the parking system of the parking structure, said vehicle parking system determines the current location of the vehicle at the parking structure and said control autonomously drives the vehicle to the parking space of the parking structure responsive at least in part to the determined current location of the vehicle at the parking structure. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
