FIELD

The present embodiment relates to a vehicle parking support device and a vehicle parking support program for supporting parking of a vehicle by measuring a distance to an object around the vehicle on the basis of an image captured from the vehicle.

BACKGROUND

In a technique (which may also be referred to as a vehicle parking support technique), a target parking position is detected on the basis of an image captured from a camera (which may also be referred to as an in-vehicle camera) mounted in a vehicle (which may also be referred to as a moving body), and the vehicle is controlled from the current position to the target parking position or the driver's operation is supported.

SUMMARY

According to an aspect of the embodiments, an information processing device includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: acquire, as a first process, a first image at a first time and a second image at a second time later than the first time from a monocular camera mounted on a vehicle; calculate, as a second process, an amount of movement of the vehicle, based on a sensor value acquired during a measurement period between the first time and the second time; output, as a third process, a result of distance measurement using a first distance measurement method to perform distance measurement using the first image or the second image, or a second distance measurement method to perform distance measurement using the first image and the second image, depending on the amount of movement; and output, as a fourth process, a result of calculation of a route to guide the vehicle to a parking space, based on the result of distance measurement.

The object and advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the claims.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are not restrictive of the invention.
