Parking space detection using ultrasonic sensor in parking assistance system

Abstract

This paper deals with parking space detection by using ultrasonic sensor. Using the multiple echo function, the accuracy of edge detection was increased. After inspecting effect on the multiple echo function in indoor experiment, we applied to 11 types of vehicles in real parking environment and made experiments on edge detection with various values of resolution. We can scan parking space more accurately in real parking environment. We propose the diagonal sensor to get information about the side of parking space. Our proposed method has benefit calculation and implementation is very simple.
