Abstract
A parking space monitoring device that calculates a parking space with higher accuracy. The parking space monitoring device includes an obstacle detection unit () that uses a relative distance (Ri) and relative angle (θi) between an obstacle (Cp) near a vehicle () and the vehicle to detect a relative position (Pi(R, θi)) of the obstacle with respect to the vehicle, a memory () that stores the relative position (Pi) detected by the obstacle detection unit in association with movement information of the vehicle, and a parking space calculation unit () that calculates a parking space based on the relative information (Pi) and the movement information that are stored in the memory.
