Approach for Parking Spaces Detection Based on ARM Embedded System

In order to detect parking spaces of outdoor parking, a proposal using cameras is given. Based on MAP, the problem is translated into the shortest path problem, the fast solving algorithm of which is present. It detects real-time parking space states, sent to the server, by the intelligent camera embedded ARM11, in which there exists the fast parking detection algorithm. Based on the C/S network model, parking information is displayed on computer terminals or LCD. Experimental results indicate that the system can be conveniently used to detect parking space states, and to manage parking information.
