A vehicle environmental detection system () in an ego vehicle () and having at least one detector arrangement () and at least one control unit arrangement () configured to determine a slant angle of parking slots in a parking row. The detector arrangement () is adapted to obtain a set of detections (d(k), k=1 . . . K). For each slant angle (&#x3b1;) in a set of slant angles (&#x3b1;, n=1 . . . N), the control unit arrangement () is adapted to calculate a set of slant rotated detections (d(k, &#x3b1;), k=1 . . . K) by rotating coordinates of each detection in the set of detections (d(k), k=1 . . . K)) by the present slant angle (&#x3b1;), calculate a projection profile (P(&#x3b1;)) for the set of slant rotated detections (d(k,&#x3b1;), k=1 . . . K) by determining a histogram of slant rotated detection coordinates, and to calculate an entropy (H(&#x3b1;)) associated with the calculated projection profile (P(&#x3b1;)). The control unit arrangement () can determine the slant angle based on the calculated entropies (H(&#x3b1;), n=1 . . . N).
