Hybrid method and system of video and vision based access control for parking stall occupancy determination

摘要

Hybrid methods, systems and processor-readable media for video and vision based access control for parking occupancy determination. One or more image frames of a parking area of interest can be acquired from among two or more regions of interest defined with respect to the parking area of interest. The regions of interest can be analyzed for motion detection or image content change detection. An image content classification operation can be performed with respect to a first region of interest among the regions of interest based on the result of the image content change detection. An object tracking operation can then be performed with respect to a second region of interest among the regions of interest if the result of the image content classification operation indicates a presence of one or more objects of interest within the parking area of interest.

主权项

1. A hybrid method of video and vision based access control for parking occupancy determination, said method comprising:
acquiring at least one image frame of a parking area of interest from among at least two regions of interest defined with respect to said parking area of interest; analyzing said at least two regions of interest defined within said parking area of interest for motion detection or content change detection; performing a vision-based image content classification operation with respect to a first region of interest among said at least two regions of interest based on a result of said content change detection; and performing an object tracking operation with respect to a second region of interest among said at least two regions of interest if a result of said vision-based image content classification operation indicates a presence of an object of interest within said parking area of interest to thereafter determine a type of access authorized with respect to said parking area of interest and based on a result of said object tracking operation.
