Towards a Model of Car Parking Assistance System Using Camera Networks: Slot Analysis and Communication Management

Nowadays, finding an available parking slot in urban environment is become more and more fastidious. In this paper, we present a model of car parking assistance system by particularly using camera networks. Such a system notably includes two research-related milestones, namely the visual detection and the communication of parking information. Hence, this paper presents a computer vision workflow permitting to detect available parking slots. Then, a strategy is proposed in order to optimally communicate to the drivers the locations of the detected available parking slots. Finally, experimental results and evaluations show the feasibility and the potential of the proposed model.
