Parking guidance system
First Claim
1. A passive parking guidance system mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- a single image camera, mounted at the rear of the vehicle to capture an image showing environment behind the vehicle;
a display device with a display correction system, wherein the display device is coupled to the camera and is configured to display an image corrected by the display correction system;
a parking mode selection apparatus coupled to the display device to display a predicted parking area on the display device, wherein the predicted parking area is a fixed area polygon dimensionally fixed as a function of the physical dimensions of said vehicle and positioned within the display image in a fixed predetermined relationship to the vehicle;
a parking area selection apparatus coupled to the display device to display a parking guidance area on the display device, wherein the parking guidance area is a fixed area polygon dimensionally fixed as a function of the physical dimensions of said vehicle and positioned within the display image in a fixed predetermined relationship to the vehicle;
a first turning guidance apparatus coupled to the display device to display a fixed preconfigured arc on the display device in a fixed predetermined relationship to the vehicle; and
a second turning guidance apparatus coupled to the display device to display on the display device a fixed preconfigured parking track with pre-established distance indication superimposed on the image.
