Claim:
A parking pilot method comprising steps: Step A: capturing images of surroundings of a vehicle, detecting a speed of said vehicle, and detecting a distance from said vehicle to a barrier, to obtain at least one parking lot, an angle and a width of said parking lot; Step B: evaluating whether said parking lot is suitable for said vehicle by evaluating at least one of the following parking lot positioning algorithms: c x1 =( d ·count1 +H m ·tan θ 1 )·cos θ 1 ≧W+ 2 t; c x2 =( d ·count2 −H o ·tan θ 1 )·cos θ 1 ≧W+ 2 t ; c x ⁢ ⁢ 3 = ( d · count ⁢ ⁢ 2 - H o · tan ⁢ ⁢ θ 1 + H p · tan ⁢ ⁢ θ 2 ) · ( sin ⁡ ( 90 - θ 2 ) cos ⁡ ( θ 2 - θ 1 ) + tan ⁡ ( θ 2 - θ 1 ) ) - H p · sin ⁡ ( θ 2 - θ 1 ) cos ⁢ ⁢ θ 2 ⁢ ⁢ … ⁢ ⁢ ( θ 1 < θ 2 ) ; and c x3 =( d ·count2 −H o ·tan θ 1 +( H p −H q )tan θ 2 +H q ·tan θ 1 )·cos θ 1 . . . (θ 1 >θ 2 ) with c x3 ≧W+2t; wherein c x1 , c x2 , c x3 denote minimum widths required by said vehicle, d is a gear width of a speed detector, count 1 , count 2 are gear numbers that said speed detector detects while said vehicle travels through said parking lot, H m , H o , H p , H q are distances that a distance detector detects, θ 1 , θ 2 are angles of vehicles having been parked on other parking lots, W is a width of said vehicle, and t is a width tolerance for parking said vehicle; if said parking lot is suitable for said vehicle, executing Step C, Step D and Step E; if said parking lot is unsuitable for said vehicle, executing Step A; Step C: obtaining relative coordinates of a position of said parking lot and a current position of said vehicle according to said images of surroundings of said vehicle, said speed of said vehicle and said distances, and using said relative coordinates to create a preset parking pilot frame and work out a relative position of said preset parking pilot frame and said parking lot; Step D: designating said parking lot and said preset parking pilot frame on a display within said vehicle, and guiding said vehicle to an initial position in order to make said preset parking pilot frame coincide with said parking lot; and Step E: parking said vehicle into said parking lot.
