发明名称 Controlling use of parking spaces using cameras and smart sensors
摘要 Tracking use of a destination location is disclosed. Based on a first vehicle image showing a first vehicle, a first unique identifier of the first vehicle is determined. Next, based on a first location of the first vehicle received based on a sensor located within the first vehicle, it is determined that the first vehicle is occupying the destination location at a second time. Next, based on a second location of the first vehicle received based on the sensor located within the first vehicle, it is determined that the first vehicle has left the destination location 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 fifth vehicle image showing the first vehicle and the at least one destination location; determining, based on the fifth vehicle image, a first unique identifier of the first vehicle; receiving, at a second time, a first location of the first vehicle based on a sensor located within the first vehicle, the first location being within a destination location; determining, based on the first location of the first vehicle, that the first vehicle is occupying the destination location at the second time; receiving, at a third time, a second location of the first vehicle based on the sensor located within the first vehicle, the second location being outside of the destination location, the third time being after the second time; determining, based on the second location of the first vehicle, 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 and the second 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.
