Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods of determining a layout for a parking area. In an aspect, a method includes determining environmental information about a surrounding environment of a vehicle moving in a parking area from sensing data provided by a sensing system of the vehicle; extracting parameters associated with parking slots identified from the environmental information; determining layout models for the parking area based at least on the extracted parameters, each layout model including an underlaying parking slot template; assigning to each of the determined layout models a confidence score; and selecting the layout model of the parking area having the highest confidence score as a current layout model used to determine the layout, the selected layout model is updated over time based on the confidence scores assigned to the layout models generated from sensing data collected while the vehicle is moving.
