Abstract
A method, program product, apparatus and system for parking slot detection. The method involves obtaining a top-down representation of the surrounding area around a vehicle based on images from cameras mounted on the vehicle. The method comprises obtaining a top-down representation of a surrounding area around a vehicle, that is generated based images from cameras mounted on the vehicle. Detection of parking slot objects in the top-down representation is performed using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based object detection model to detect parking objects from different classes, such as vacant, blocked, occupied, and indistinct. The model is configured to output a plurality of heat-maps, each of which is associated with an individual class of parking slot and a matrix of the same dimensions as the heatmap, indicating, in each cell, an orientation measurement indicating an orientation of a parking slot object that has a center at the respective cell.
