Specifically, the image acquisition device can be arranged on a rearview mirror inside the vehicle, and the orientation direction of the image acquisition device is towards the direction of the vehicle head, so that the image acquisition device can acquire a larger visual field, can acquire more comprehensive information of a ramp, and further judges whether the vehicle is on the left side or the right side of the ramp.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides an auxiliary parking method, fig. 13 is a flowchart of the auxiliary parking method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 13, the auxiliary parking method includes:
step 401, outputting a parking request signal according to a parking request through a parking monitoring circuit;

Step 402, detecting that the driving position is on the slope through a parking position detection circuit, and outputting a position signal;
specifically, the driving position detection circuit can detect the position of the vehicle and the direction of the head of the vehicle, and generate a position signal when the vehicle stops on a slope.
And 403, receiving the parking request signal and the position signal through the driving control circuit to generate an automatic steering signal so as to adjust the steering of the wheels of the vehicle, so that the wheels have a certain steering angle after parking.
Specifically, the driving control circuit can generate an automatic steering signal according to the parking request signal and the position signal so as to adjust the steering of the wheels of the vehicle, so that the wheels have a certain steering angle, the vehicle is prevented from sliding on a slope to cause accidents, and the safety is improved.
Exemplarily, fig. 14 is a flowchart of another parking assisting method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 14, the parking assisting method includes:
step 301, a parking monitoring circuit receives a parking request; if yes, go to step 302;
specifically, when parking is required, the parking monitoring circuit receives a parking request, and executes step 302, i.e., outputs a parking request signal.
Step 303, detecting that the vehicle is positioned on a slope by a driving position detection circuit; if yes, go to step 304;
specifically, if the vehicle stops on a ramp, a great potential safety hazard can be caused if the wheels of the vehicle are not steered by a certain angle; therefore, when the vehicle is parked on a slope, the driving position detection circuit can detect the position of the vehicle and generate a position signal.
Step 304, whether the driving position detection circuit outputs a first vehicle body position signal or not is judged; if yes, go to step 305; if not, go to step 307;
specifically, the driving position detecting circuit outputs a body position signal, which may be a first body position signal or a second body position signal, and when the body position signal is the first body position signal, step 305 is performed, and when the body position signal is not the first body position signal, the body position signal is the second body position signal, step 307 may be performed.
Step 305, whether the driving position detection circuit outputs a first head direction signal or not is judged; if yes, go to step 306; if not, go to step 308;
specifically, the driving position detection circuit further outputs a vehicle head direction signal, where the vehicle head direction signal may be a first vehicle head direction signal or a second vehicle head direction signal, and when the vehicle head direction signal is the first vehicle head direction signal, step 306 is executed; when the head orientation signal is not the first head orientation signal and the head orientation signal is the second head orientation signal, step 308 may be performed.
Step 306, controlling the wheels to have a certain steering angle towards a first direction after the vehicle is stopped by the driving control circuit;
step 307, whether the driving position detection circuit outputs a first head direction signal or not; if yes, go to step 308; if not, go to step 306;
and 308, controlling the wheels to have a certain steering angle towards the second direction after the vehicle is stopped by the driving control circuit.
Specifically, the first body position signal may indicate that the vehicle is located on the left side of the slope, and the first head orientation signal may indicate that the head is facing up the slope; the second body position signal may indicate that the vehicle is located on the right side of the grade, and the second head orientation signal may indicate that the head is facing down the grade; the first direction may represent left, and the second direction may represent right; when the driving position detection circuit detects that the driving position is located on a slope, a first vehicle body position signal is output, a vehicle head direction signal is detected, and a first vehicle head direction signal is output, the driving control circuit adjusts the wheel steering of the vehicle according to the parking request signal, the first vehicle body position signal and the first vehicle head direction signal, so that the wheels have a certain steering angle towards the first direction after parking, and when the vehicle slips due to failure of a parking system or other reasons, the wheels are blocked by a road edge, and the phenomenon of serious slipping cannot occur, so that accidents are avoided; if the driving position detection circuit detects that the driving position is located on the ramp, a first vehicle body position signal is output, the vehicle head direction is detected, a second vehicle head direction signal is output, the driving control circuit receives the parking request signal, the first vehicle body position signal and the second vehicle head direction signal, and adjusts the wheel steering of the vehicle, so that the wheels have a certain steering angle towards the second direction after parking, when the vehicle slips due to failure of a parking system or other reasons, the wheels are blocked by a road edge, and the phenomenon of more serious slipping cannot occur, so that accidents are avoided; if the driving position detection circuit detects that the driving position is located on the ramp, a second vehicle body position signal is output, the vehicle head direction is detected, and a first vehicle head direction signal is output; the driving control circuit receives the parking request signal, the second body position signal and the first head direction signal, and adjusts the wheel steering of the vehicle, so that the wheels have a certain steering angle towards the second direction after parking, when the vehicle slips due to failure of a parking system or other reasons, the wheels are blocked by a road edge, and the phenomenon of more serious slipping cannot occur, thereby avoiding accidents; if the driving position detection circuit detects that the driving position is located on the ramp, a second vehicle body position signal is output, the vehicle head direction is detected, and a second vehicle head direction signal is output; the driving control circuit receives the parking request signal, the second body position signal and the second head direction signal, and adjusts the wheel steering of the vehicle, so that the wheel has a certain steering angle towards the first direction after parking, when the vehicle slips due to failure of a parking system or other reasons, the wheel can be blocked by a road edge, the phenomenon of more serious slipping cannot occur, and the accident is avoided.
It should be noted that the execution sequence of step 304, step 305 and step 307 in this embodiment is not limited to the sequence shown in fig. 14, as long as the driving control circuit can make the wheels of the parked vehicle have a certain steering angle in the first direction or the second direction to avoid rolling according to the first position signal, the parking request signal and the head direction signal.
