Abstract

A system controls motion of vehicle according to a first parking path ending at a target state and determines a second parking path from a current state to the target state using a model of the parking space. The system acquires images of the parking space during the motion of the vehicle along the first parking path and constructs the model of the parking space. The model is used to generate a set of virtual images of the environment of the parking space as viewed from virtual viewpoints outside of the first parking path. The current state of the vehicle is determined by comparing a current image of the parking space with at least one virtual image. The second parking path is determined from the current state to the target state.
