Abstract
Vehicle parking monitoring systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example method can include receiving images from a camera of a parking spot, each of the images being time stamped, determining presence of a vehicle in the images, placing a bounding area around a region of interest of the vehicle, the region of interest including no personally identifiable information, retaining the bounding area and discarding a remainder of the images, and determining when the vehicle is no longer present based on a change in the bounding area of the images.
