Abstract

A smart parking assist apparatus and method are provided. The smart parking assist apparatus operates a smart parking assist function after a vehicle stops and searches a parking slot using a plurality of imaging devices. In addition, the searched parking slot is set to a target parking slot and parking slot information regarding the target parking slot is output. The apparatus recognizes a parking line of the target parking slot and an object adjacent to the target parking slot and sets a parking reference line based on the recognized information, after the parking slot information is output. The vehicle is then operated to be parked in the target parking slot based on the parking reference line.
