Parking assist system
First Claim
1. A parking assist system for assisting a parking operation of a vehicle including forward movement to a reverse start position and subsequent reverse movement from the reverse start position to park the vehicle at a predetermined parking position, said system comprising:
- an image receiving section for obtaining image data captured by an image capturing device mounted on the vehicle from a scene around the vehicle;
a parking reference detecting section for repeatedly detecting, based on said image data, a parking reference for use in parking the vehicle, during the forward movement of the vehicle to said reverse start position;
a parking target setting section for repeatedly setting, based on said parking reference, a parking target position corresponding to said predetermined parking position, during the forward movement of the vehicle to said reverse start position;
a parking path calculating section for successively calculating a parking path from a current position of the vehicle to said parking target position, based on said parking target positions and said parking references; and
a parking path determining section for determining whether the parking path has been established effective or not, based upon the result of the calculation by said parking path calculating section,wherein a position where the parking path determined by the parking path determining section is established effective is set as the reverse start position.

Abstract
The parking assist system assists the maneuvering for moving a vehicle to a reverse start position, then moving it in reverse from the reverse start position to a predetermined parking position in a manner as follows. A parking target setting section sets a parking target position corresponding to the predetermined parking position, based upon a parking reference detected based on image data captured from the scene around the vehicle. A parking path calculating section sequentially calculates a parking path from a present position of the vehicle to the parking target position, in the course of forward movement along a forward path. A parking path determining section determines whether an effective parking path has been established or not, based upon result of calculation by the parking path calculating section.
