In a recognition processing of a vehicle included in a camera image acquired by a camera installed in a closed space, the vehicle recognition system determines whether a shutter provided at an entrance/exit for a vehicle in the closed space is opened or not based on opening/closing information on the shutter. Then, the vehicle recognition system determines whether or not an outside illuminance is higher than an inside illuminance based on information on the outside illuminance and information on the inside illuminance. Furthermore, the vehicle recognition system performs brightness correction processing for correcting brightness of the camera image when it is determined that the shutter is opened and the outside illuminance is higher than the inside illuminance.

An automated parking management device includes a storage device and a processor that performs an organization processing for organizing an automated parking location of a vehicle in a parking lot. In the organization processing, the processor calculates a degree of anti-theft necessity for a loaded vehicle and a load scheduled vehicle for each vehicle. The processor calculates a degree of theft resistance for each parking spot based on a map information of the parking lot, a location information of the loaded vehicle, and a location information of the load scheduled vehicle. The processor determines an automated parking location of the loaded vehicle and the load scheduled vehicle based on the degree of anti-theft necessity and degree of theft resistance such that a vehicle with a higher degree of anti-theft necessity is parked in the parking spot with a higher degree of theft resistance.
