Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for detecting parked vehicles based on edge detection. For each parking space, its boundary comprises an exposed edge, which is not occluded by any parked vehicle. Its primary detected edges are the detected edges that are substantially parallel to the exposed edge. A parking space is detected as occupied if its primary detected edges satisfy at least one of these conditions: (1) their total number is more than a pre-determined minimum number; and/or, (2) their total length is more than a pre-determined minimum length.
