the rapid growth of urbanization in the world has led to centralization, intensity and speed of urban life in addition, the lack of efficient public transport system that is responsive to the needs of citizens has led to an increase in the use of private vehicles and consequently has increased the demand for parking in cities and has caused heavy and severe traffic in cities. furthermore, the u...

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 ...

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 pa...

Whether or not a car occupies a given parking spot at a given time can be modeled as a random variable. By looking at a parking lot as a collection of these random variables, we create a spatial random process. In this paper, we will consider factors that affect the probability and distribution of occupancy in a parking lot. We then create a simplified model accounting for some of the more regu...

ODIS is an omni-directional mobile robot designed to autonomously or semi-autonomously inspect automobiles in a parking lot. Periodically, its position and orientation references need to be reset. This paper considers visual servoing to parking lot lines as one possible approach. Analysis and simulations demonstrate that a surprisingly simple proportional controller in the image coordinates can...

M-Commerce today is an explosively growing industry with new applications being born continuously. This paper will explore a proposed m-commerce application, a Parking Reservation Agent we will call EZ-Park. We will discuss some scalability options, business model options, and security considerations of this Parking Reservation Agent. We will first focus on how to use the proposed technology wi...

Car parking lots are an important object class in many traffic and civilian applications. With the problems of increasing urban traffic congestion and the ever increasing shortage of space, these car parking lots are needed to be well equipped with automatic parking Information and Guidance systems. Goals of intelligent parking lot management include counting the number of parked cars, and iden...
