Obtaining information on parking slots is a prerequisite for the development of automatic parking systems, which is an essential part of the automatic driving processes. In this paper, we proposed a parking-slot-marking detection approach based on deep learning. The detection process involves the generation of mask of the marking-points by using the Mask R-CNN algorithm, extracting parking guidelines and parallel lines on the mask using the line segment detection (LSD) to determine the candidate parking slots. The experimental results show that the proposed method works well under the condition of complex illumination and around-view images from different sources, with a precision of 94.5% and a recall of 92.7%. The results also indicate that it can be applied to diverse slot types, including vertical, parallel and slanted slots, which is superior to previous methods.
As a key technology for intelligent vehicles, automatic parking is becoming increasingly popular in the area of research. Automatic parking technology is available for safe and quick parking operations without a driver, and improving the driving comfort while greatly reducing the probability of parking accidents. An automatic parking path planning and tracking control method is proposed in this paper to resolve the following issues presented in the existing automatic parking systems, that is, low degree of automation in vehicle control; lack of conformity between segmented path planning and real vehicle motion models; and low success rates of parking due to poor path tracking. To this end, this paper innovatively proposes preview correction which can be applied to parking path planning, and detects the curvature outliers in the parking path through the preview algorithm. In addition, it is also available for correction in advance to optimize the reasonable parking path. Meanwhile, the dual sliding mode variable structure control algorithm is used to formulate path tracking control strategies to improve the path tracking control effect and the vehicle control automation. Based on the above algorithm, an automatic parking system was developed and the real vehicle test was completed, thus exploring a highly intelligent automatic parking technology roadmap. This paper provides two key aspects of system solutions for an automatic parking system, i.e., parking path planning and path tracking control.
