1. An automatic parking system, comprising:
a camera processor configured to generate external images by acquiring images around a subject vehicle;
a parking space recognizing unit configured to periodically receive the external images and sequentially compare the consecutive external images to detect parking areas; and
a controller configured to select a first parking area for parking the subject vehicle among the detected parking areas, calculate a moving path between a current position of the subject vehicle and the first parking area and operate the subject vehicle based on the moving path to automatically park in the first parking area,
wherein the parking space recognizing unit is configured to detect the parking areas based on a length and a width of the subject vehicle.
