Abstract

In order to reduce parking difficulties caused by small parking spaces, low driver driving experience, and complex parking environment, parking assistance systems have attracted attention, but the identification of parking spaces is a key problem and technical difficulty. In this paper, an improved parking space recognition algorithm based on panoramic vision is proposed. Firstly, in the look-around image forming part, a method of distortion correction (DC) and perspective transformation (PT) based on LUT (Look Up Table) transformation is proposed to improve the processing speed of the algorithm. Then, to improve the accuracy of parking space recognition, an improved method combining rough extraction and fine matching is proposed to identify parking spaces in a look-around image. The experimental results show that the method achieves a detection rate of 97.63% under sufficient illumination and 79.77% even under insufficient illumination.
