Abstract

Various systems and methods are presented regarding utilizing technology onboard a vehicle to identify and annotate a vehicle parking spot. The parking spot is identified in a digital image captured by an onboard camera and imaging system, wherein an image including the parking spot can be annotated with a shape identifying the parking spot and further annotated with information regarding the parking spot, e.g., dimensions of the parking spot, an entrance to the parking spot, whether the parking spot is occupied, a location of the parking spot, and suchlike. The parking spot information can be transmitted to a remotely located vehicle and/or a remotely located computer system configured to compile information regarding the parking spot.
