System and method for parking infraction detection

摘要

The invention relates to a system and method for detecting parking infractions. It comprises computing one or more measurements associated with a stationary object found at a first location; classifying the stationary object as being representative of a vehicle parked at the first location based on the one or more measurements associated with the stationary object; capturing one or more images of the vehicle parked at the first location; processing the one or more images of the vehicle to extract one or more present vehicle identifiers associated with the vehicle, and recording a time the one or more images were taken, a co-ordinate set associated with the first location and the one or more identifiers associated with the vehicle; determining a time duration for which parking is allowed at the first location; and comparing the present vehicle identifiers with previously recorded vehicle identifiers associated with the first location to determine if the vehicle has been parked at the first location for a period exceeding the time duration.
