发明名称 Controlling use of parking spaces using cameras and smart sensors
摘要 Tracking use of a destination location is disclosed. A first unique identifier of a first vehicle is received based on a sensor located within the first vehicle. A first location of the first vehicle is determined based on a first vehicle image taken at a second time. A second location of the first vehicle is determined based on a second vehicle image taken at a third time. Finally, it is indicated that the first vehicle began use of the destination location at the second time and that the first vehicle completed use of the destination location at the third time.

主权项 1. A method of tracking use of at least one destination location, the method comprising: receiving a first vehicle image showing a first vehicle and a first portion of a roadway; determining, based on the first vehicle image, a first static characteristic of the first vehicle; receiving a second vehicle image showing the first vehicle and the first portion of the roadway; determining, based on the first vehicle image and the second vehicle image, a first dynamic characteristic of the first vehicle; receiving a third vehicle image showing the first vehicle and a second portion of the roadway; determining, based on the third vehicle image, a second static characteristic of the first vehicle; receiving a fourth vehicle image showing the first vehicle and the second portion of the roadway; determining, based on the third vehicle image and the fourth vehicle image, a second dynamic characteristic of the first vehicle; comparing the second static characteristic to the first static characteristic; determining, in response to the comparison of the second static characteristic and the first static characteristic, that the second static characteristic is approximately equal to the first static characteristic; comparing the second dynamic characteristic to the first dynamic characteristic; determining, in response to the comparison of the second dynamic characteristic and the first dynamic characteristic, that the second dynamic characteristic is approximately equal to the first dynamic characteristic; determining, in response to the approximate equivalence between the second static characteristic and the first static characteristic and the approximate equivalence between the second dynamic characteristic and the first dynamic characteristic, that the first vehicle is traversing the roadway between the first portion and the second portion; receiving, at a first time, a first unique identifier of the first vehicle based on a sensor located within the first vehicle; receiving, at a second time, a fifth vehicle image, the first vehicle image showing the first vehicle at a first location, the first location being within a destination location; receiving, at the second time, a third dynamic characteristic of the first vehicle based on the sensor located with the first vehicle, the first dynamic characteristic being an indication that the first vehicle is stopped; determining, based on the first location of the first vehicle and the indication that the first vehicle is stopped, that the first vehicle is occupying the destination location at the second time; receiving, at a third time, a sixth vehicle image, the third time being after the second time, and the sixth vehicle image showing the first vehicle at a second location, the second location being outside of the destination location; receiving, at the third time, a fourth dynamic characteristic of the first vehicle based on the sensor located with the first vehicle, the second dynamic characteristic being an indication that the first vehicle is moving; determining, based on the second location of the first vehicle and the indication that the first vehicle is moving, that the first vehicle has left the destination location at the third time; indicating the first unique identifier of the first vehicle; indicating that the first vehicle began use of the destination location at the second time; and indicating that the first vehicle completed use of the destination location at the third time, wherein: the first static characteristic and the second static characteristic are characteristics of the first vehicle that do not change over time,the first dynamic characteristic, the second dynamic characteristic, the third dynamic characteristic and the fourth dynamic characteristic are characteristics of the first vehicle that change over time, andthe steps of receiving, determining, and indicating are performed by one or more processors.
