Smart parking system based on optical character recognition

Abstract

Successful implementation of clever parking structures can correctly lessen lots of issues associated to visitor congestion in city regions. Wastage of gasoline and time on the lookout for a vacant parking area will be considerably decreased and the entire usage of the to be had parking regions could make our towns clever. Parking slot detection & consumer notification are the 2 essential sections of a clever parking device. The vacant parking area detection become to begin with finished with the aid of using deploying some of sensors withinside the automobile parking space. It is rather high-priced and complex to implement. But the development of image capturing has enabled us to apply pictures of parking location to discover empty spaces. In this paper a comparative observe of the diverse parking area identity strategies have performed. photo processing primarily based totally machine fashions has been offered as a alternative for sensor primarily based totally structures. A very green and simple method for parking slot identity primarily based totally on optical individual recognition (OCR) has been introduced. The digital digicam hooked up with inside the car parking zone captures the photo of the parking vicinity with specially numbered parking spaces. The OCR device acknowledges the numbers which aren't hidden through a vehicle parked over and this record is used for figuring out the available area.
