Integrated UAV-based automated parking monitoring and enforcement system

This research presents an innovative approach to monitoring outdoor parking lots using flying drones and advanced computer vision. The system uses a drone to patrol the parking lot, capturing videos that are then analyzed to identify parking spaces and read license plates. This technological solution shows the potential to replace manual parking enforcement labor such as physical patrolling and issuing fines. Furthermore, the technology can monitor parking space availability and provide this information to parking users to help them find parking more easily. The technology is not limited to flying drones and can be implemented in various mobile devices.
