Outdoor vehicle detection is one of the most challenging tasks in the world of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Today, a substantial amount of different technologies such as video detection, microwave radar detection and electromagnetic loop detection are used worldwide to detect vehicles for ITS applications such as traffic signal control, traffic flow measurement, automatic incident detection and many more. A growth in parking management applications has resulted in technologies being adapted to respond to different environments with different needs. This paper will present a video-based approach to detect vehicles at parking areas.
