A method and detection device for detecting an available parking space are disclosed, which relate to the field of parking space detection technology. The method includes: the detection device uses an ultrasonic sensor of a vehicle to perform detection at a specified frequency to obtain the distance from the vehicle to an obstacle (101); the detection device determines a plurality of location coordinates of the obstacle based on location coordinates of the ultrasonic sensor of the vehicle and the distances measured through multiple rounds of detection (102); the detection device fits the plurality of location coordinates to obtain a boundary of the obstacle, and detects a jump edge of the boundary of the obstacle (103); the detection device adjusts the length of the jump edge based on a pre-constructed calibration correlation between location data measured by an ultrasonic sensor and location data of actual obstacles (104); and the detection device determines the location of an available parking space based on the length-adjusted jump edge (105). This can reduce vacant parking spaces missed by the detection, which are relatively narrow but sufficient to accommodate the vehicle, thereby improving the efficiency of automatic parking.
