Abstract

Parking lot occupation detection using vision systems is a very important task. Many systems use different sensors and their combinations to find out whether the parking lot or space is occupied or not. Using CCTV systems makes it possible to monitor great areas without a need of many sensors. In this paper, we present a method that uses the boosting algorithm for car detection on particular parking spaces and shifting the image to obtain a probability function of car appearance. Using the model of parking lot, we achieve occupancy of each parking space. We also experimented with the detector that is based on the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) with a support vector machine (SVM). Nevertheless, we found some drawbacks of this detector that we describe in experiments. On the grounds of these drawbacks, we decided to use the AdaBoost based detector.
