A Monitor System For State Recognition Of Parking Spaces Based On Video

With the rapid development of modern traffic, the parking resource is facing great pressure. Among the projects of intelligent traffic system, it is crucial to effectively manage the park and accordingly improve its efficiency. Compared with the traditional methods upon induction coil or ultrasonic technology, the solution to parking spaces monitor based on computer vision has advantages in cost of hardware, convenience of setting. Moreover, it is apt to functions'evolution for parking registration or guarding the security of valuable vehicles.Since the great number of parking areas and frequent changes between entrance and exit in the park, the monitor system focuses on movement detecting and state recognition of each area, in order to improve efficiency of management.Works completed are as following:1. Based on the construction of park, scheme out and estimate the optics system for video capture according to the requirements of states monitoring.2. Analyze the principle of vision-based monitoring methods and the module of imaging, then import and refine 3 criterions as an algorithm, and finally distinguish varied characters among different situation.3. Finish the frame of software by MS VC++ 6.0, and realize the system which consists of video capture, automatic monitor, interface for user operation and communication with peripheral equipments.4. Experiment with AVI video files, test the reliability of algorithm and software, and complete debug works in both hardware and software.
