METHOD FOR OBJECT SIZE CALIBRATION TO AID VEHICLE DETECTION FOR VIDEO-BASED ON-STREET PARKING TECHNOLOGY

摘要

A method for determining parking availability includes receiving video data from a sequence of frames taken from an image capture device monitoring a parking area. The method includes detecting at least one object located in the parking area. The method includes determining boundaries of the parking area. The boundaries include at least an inner boundary relative to the image capture device and an outer boundary relative to the image capture device. The outer boundary is substantially parallel to the inner boundary. The method further includes computing a length of at least one of the object and a space between objects using an object pixel for each of the inner and outer boundaries. Using the computed length, The method includes determining a parking availability in the parking area. The method includes outputting a notice of the parking availability to a user.

1. A method for determining parking availability, the method comprising:
receiving video data from a sequence of frames taken from an associated image capture device monitoring a parking area; detecting at least one object located in the parking area; determining boundaries of the parking area, the boundaries including at least an inner boundary relative to the associated image capture device and an outer boundary relative to the associated image capture device, the outer boundary being substantially parallel to the inner boundary; computing a length of at least one of the object and a space between objects using an object pixel for each of the inner and outer boundaries; using the computed length, determining a parking availability in the parking area; and, outputting a notice of the parking availability to a user.
