Sometimes, and most of the time, there are vacant spots, but the drivers do not have any information about them. It could be, either a free spot far away from them, or is it hidden by some other cars or any other objects big enough to hide the spot. In some cases, parking spaces are managed by people such as security guards who might not have the total view of the next available parking space.
Sometimes the driver themselves has to check for a vacant space by circling around the parking lot, and there is the problem of another driver would come and occupied said slot, thus many loss are generated: time, fuel, and maybe temper. In developing modern cities, urban planning does not follow the quick growth of popula- tion dynamics. It implies that newly brought vehicles between two urban planning imple- mentations, which might not be accommodated in all the existing parking facilities. It leads to bad management of the space by drivers and congestion in the parking lot, especially at peak hours, as drivers are stuck not knowing where to go next.
A study by INRIX found that the average American driver spends 17 hours a year looking for a parking spot. That search costs each driver around $345 in wasted time, gas, and emissions. In larger cities, drivers spend even more time looking for spots.2 Goals Due to such nature of finding a vacant parking slot, a system to detect vacant spaces is desirable to route drivers efficiently to proper empty spots. In order to develop such system, this project’s objectives are the following: • To review theoretical knowledge and related works regarding systems to detect parking space occupancy, applying them to our understanding of the problem and methods to resolve said problem.
• To design a model which can efficiently detect the occupancy status of the parking space Graduation Thesis (Computer Science), Semester 1, Academic year 2022-2023 Page 7/42 Ho Chi Minh University of Technology Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering in an image and a video using our proposed method.3 Limitations In the vision-based approach using machine learning models, the model predicts and checks the image and video based on the information from the training data, which is from the camera point of view at the testing time. Unless a few images of the testing environment are included in the training set, the model may not obtain the same detection result compare to normally. Furthermore, the precision values may change according to the parking space conditions such as lighting, weather and parking space arrangements.4 Thesis Structure This paper is organized as follows: • Chapter 1: Introduction - A brief introduction about the objectives of the thesis. • Chapter 2: Theoretical Background - An introduction of theoretical background and related works as foundation knowledge which are applied in the project.
• Chapter 3: Proposed Methods - Proposed methods and evaluation of said methods to solve the project theoretical problem. • Chapter 4: Project Results - The execution of the selected solution, result and evaluation of said solution. • Chapter 5: Summary - A summary of the final results and future plan.1 Object Detection Object detection refers to the capability of computer and software systems to detect and identify instances of objects of a certain class within an image, or in this case multiple images. In short, object detection answers the most fundamental information needed by computer vision applications: ”What objects are where?”.
Graduation Thesis (Computer Science), Semester 1, Academic year 2022-2023 Page 8/42 Ho Chi Minh University of Technology Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering Different strategies have been proposed to solve the problem of object detection through- out the years. In the past two decades, it is widely accepted that the progress of object detection has generally gone through two historical periods: ”traditional object detection period (before 2014)” and ”deep learning based detection period (after 2014)”, as shown in Figure 2.1: A road map of object detection with various milestones [2]. In 2012, Convolution Neural Network (CNN) was created [3]. Due to its ability to learn robust and high-level feature representations of an image, modern object detection algo- rithms utilized them and started to evolve at an incredible rate, with optimization focused algorithms such as VGGNet [4], GoogLeNet [5] and Deep Residual Learning (ResNet) [6] have been invented over the years.2 Convolution Neural Network (CNN) A Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is a subclass of artificial neural networks that specialize in processing data that has a grid-like topology, such as an image.
A digital image is a binary representation of a visual data which contains a series of pixels arranged in a grid that contains its own pixel values to denote how bright and what color each pixel should be. The human brain processes a huge amount of information the second we see an image. Graduation Thesis (Computer Science), Semester 1, Academic year 2022-2023 Page 9/42 Ho Chi Minh University of Technology Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering Each neuron works in its own receptive field and is connected to other neurons in a way that they cover the entire visual field. Just as each neuron responds to stimuli only in the restricted region of the visual field called the receptive field in the biological vision systems, each neuron in a CNN processes data only in its receptive field as well.
The layers are arranged in such a way so that they detect simpler patterns first (lines, curves, etc.) and more complex patterns (faces, objects, etc.3 CNN Layers A typical CNN structure consists of several building blocks, or layers: an input layer, a convolutional layer, an active layer, a pooling layer, a fully connected layer and finally, an output layer. Some types of CNN models might include other layers for different purposes.
