BluePark: Tracking Parking and Un-parking Events in Indoor Parking Lot

Finding a parking spot in a busy indoor parking lot is a daunting task. Retracing a parked vehicle can be equally frustrating. We present BluePark, a collaborative sensing mechanism using smartphone sensors to solve these problems in real-time, without any input from user. We propose a novel technique of combining accelerometer and WiFi data to detect and localize parking and un-parking events ...

Semi-automatic Parking System Recognizing Parking Lot Markings

This paper describes a semi-automatic parking system, which can designate target position by recognizing parking lot markings. Driver is able to designate or refine the target position by drag&drop based novel user interface. Peak pair detection and clustering in Hough space recognize marking lines. Specially, one-dimensional filter in Hough space is developed to incorporate a priori knowledge ...

Reversible polydisperse parking lot model.

We use an improved reversible parking lot model to study the compaction of vibrated polydisperse media. The particle sizes are distributed according to a truncated power law. We introduce a self-consistent desorption mechanism with a hierarchical initialization of the system. In this way, we approach densities close to unity. The final density depends on the polydispersity of the system as well...
