Abstract
A parking detection method includes: accessing data corresponding to an image from a camera on a vehicle; computing a confidence score for a possible vacant parking location from the data corresponding to the image from the camera on the vehicle; and when the confidence score is greater than a threshold confidence, identifying the possible vacant parking location as an actual vacant parking location from the data corresponding to the image from the camera on the vehicle.
