Abstract:
A method of identifying vacant parking locations includes receiving sensor data captured with respect to a parking aisle and analyzing the received sensor data to detect shadows cast by parked vehicles within the parking aisle. Vacant parking spots are detected based on the detected shadows. An output is generated indicating whether a parking spot vacancy has been detected within the parking aisle.
