A system for augmented-reality (AR)-assisted vehicle parking with operator-in-loop selections and alignments of feature point vicinities (FPVs) includes a vehicle, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), sensors detecting FPVs of a parking location and controllers. The controllers have a processor, memory, and input/output (I/O) ports in communication with the HMIs and sensors. The memory stores an AR-assisted parking application (ARAPA) executed by the processor. The AR-assisted parking application (ARAPA) has a training session (TS) and a live session (LS), and is activated upon completing parking at a parking spot at the parking location. The TS portion trains the ARAPA to recognize FPVs of the parking spot. The LS portion prompts an operator to select the parking spot, guides the operator into the parking spot by displaying trained FPVs onto live sensor data displayed on the HMI, and instructs the operator to align the trained FPVs with corresponding real-world FPVs by maneuvering the vehicle.
