Abstract

In this paper, we present an embedded real-time parking lot monitoring video surveillance system, automatically dimming and brightening the illumination depending on whether people or vehicles are detected in the monitored area. The system helps saving money by significantly reducing energy consumption, while maintaining appropriate levels of illumination for basic safety.
