Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of data processing technology, specifically to artificial intelligence technologies such as computer vision, intelligent transportation, and deep learning. It provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium for determining the status of a parking space. Background Technology

[0002] Existing technologies typically use occupancy devices, such as signs, to mark parking spaces as occupied. However, in smart parking scenarios, it's impossible to determine the parking space's status based on these occupancy devices, which can easily lead to situations where users without designated parking spaces are unable to park when they reach a designated space. Summary of the Invention

[0003] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a method for determining the status of a parking space is provided, comprising: acquiring a parking space image of a target parking space; determining an occupancy device in the target parking space based on the parking space image; and, if it is determined that an intervention device exists on the occupancy device, using the occupancy status as the parking space status of the target parking space.

[0004] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a device for determining the status of a parking space is provided, comprising: an acquisition unit for acquiring a parking space image of a target parking space; a determination unit for determining an occupancy device in the target parking space based on the parking space image; and a processing unit for determining, when it is determined that an intervention device exists on the occupancy device, the occupancy status as the parking space status of the target parking space.

[0005] According to a third aspect of this disclosure, an electronic device is provided, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions being executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform the method as described above.

[0006] According to a fourth aspect of this disclosure, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is provided storing computer instructions, wherein the computer instructions are used to cause the computer to perform the method described above.

[0007] According to a fifth aspect of this disclosure, a computer program product is provided, comprising a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the method described above.

[0008] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this disclosure determines the parking status of the target parking space by sequentially detecting the occupancy device in the target parking space and the intervention device on the occupancy device. This can improve the accuracy of the determined parking status. Especially in the scenario where a fixed parking space is occupied by an occupancy device, it can effectively avoid the problem that users of non-fixed parking spaces cannot park when they drive to a fixed parking space because the parking status of the fixed parking space cannot be determined, thus further improving the parking efficiency of vehicles.

[0009] It should be understood that the description in this section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the embodiments of this disclosure, nor is it intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. Other features of this disclosure will become readily apparent from the following description. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 5 This is a block diagram of an electronic device used to implement the parking space status determination method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and mechanisms are omitted in the following description.

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram based on the first embodiment of this disclosure. (See diagram below.) Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the parking space status in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0018] S101. Obtain the parking space image of the target parking space;

[0019] S102. Based on the parking space image, determine the occupancy device in the target parking space;

[0020] S103. If it is determined that there is an intervention device on the occupancy device, the occupancy status shall be taken as the parking status of the target parking space.

[0021] The parking space status determination method in this embodiment determines the parking space status by sequentially detecting the occupancy device in the target parking space and the intervention device on the occupancy device. This improves the accuracy of the determined parking space status. Especially in scenarios where a fixed parking space is occupied by an occupancy device, it can effectively avoid the problem of users with non-fixed parking spaces being unable to park when they drive to a fixed parking space due to the inability to determine the parking space status of the fixed parking space, thereby further improving the parking efficiency of vehicles.

[0022] The execution entity of the parking space status determination method in this embodiment is located on the server of the corresponding parking lot operation or management user. The server is used to manage the parking spaces in the parking lot and can guide the vehicles waiting to park according to the parking space status.

[0023] In this embodiment, when executing S101, the target parking space is first determined, and then the parking space image of the target parking space is obtained. In this embodiment, when executing S101, a preset or real-time input parking space number can be obtained, and then the target parking space is determined based on the obtained parking space number.

[0024] In this embodiment, when executing S101 to obtain the parking space image of the target parking space, the image corresponding to the target parking space captured by the shooting device can be obtained as the parking space image of the target parking space. In this embodiment, each shooting device can be used to monitor one or more parking spaces. That is, parking space images of different target parking spaces can be obtained by multiple shooting devices or by one shooting device.

[0025] In this embodiment, the number of target parking spaces determined by S101 can be one or more. When there are multiple target parking spaces, this embodiment will acquire the parking space image of each target parking space when executing S101, and then determine the parking space status of different target parking spaces based on different parking space images.

[0026] In this embodiment, after executing S101 to obtain the parking space image of the target parking space, S102 is executed to determine the occupant in the target parking space based on the parking space image.

[0027] In this embodiment, the occupancy device is a device located in the parking space that is used to obstruct vehicle parking. It can be a sign with specific words such as "No Parking", "Reserved Parking Space", or "VIP Parking Space", or it can be a ground lock installed in the parking space. This embodiment does not limit the type or number of occupancy devices in the parking space.

[0028] In this embodiment, when executing S102 to determine the occupant in the target parking space based on the parking space image, the optional implementation method is as follows: based on the parking space image, obtain the objects contained in the target parking space and the image features corresponding to the objects; calculate the similarity between the obtained image features and the target features; and take the objects corresponding to the image features whose similarity meets the preset requirements as the occupant in the target parking space.

[0029] In this embodiment, when executing S102, target features can be obtained in advance based on images corresponding to different types of occupancy devices; wherein, different target features correspond to different types of occupancy devices, and in this embodiment, the target features can be one or multiple.

[0030] To improve the accuracy of detecting whether there is an occupancy device in the target parking space, this embodiment can calculate the similarity between each image feature and different target features when executing S102; therefore, when executing S102 to determine the image features whose similarity meets the preset requirements, this embodiment can determine the image features whose similarity exceeds the preset threshold, or it can determine the image features with the highest similarity.

[0031] In this embodiment, when executing S102 to determine the occupancy device in the target parking space based on the parking space image, the following method can also be used: input the acquired parking space image into the occupancy device detection model; determine the occupancy device in the target parking space based on the output result of the occupancy device detection model; wherein, in this embodiment, the occupancy device detection model can use boxes to annotate the occupancy devices in the parking space image.

[0032] It is understood that if, in this embodiment, step S102 determines that there is no occupant in the target parking space, the execution of subsequent steps will be suspended.

[0033] In this embodiment, after executing S102 to determine the occupancy device in the target parking space, S103 is executed to adjust the parking space status of the target parking space to an occupied state if it is determined that there is an intervention device on the occupancy device.

[0034] In this embodiment, when executing S103 to determine that an intervention device exists on the occupancy device, an optional implementation method can be adopted as follows: detect whether there is license plate information on the occupancy device; if it is determined that there is license plate information on the occupancy device, determine that an intervention device exists on the occupancy device.

[0035] In this embodiment, when performing S103 to detect whether there is license plate information on the occupancy device, the presence of a license plate mold (the license plate mold has the same size as the real license plate and may not contain the license plate number) can be detected by image recognition, or the presence of a license plate number can be detected by displaying the license plate number on the occupancy device (for example, by displaying the license plate number on the display screen on the occupancy device), or the presence of a license plate mold containing the license plate number can be detected on the occupancy device.

[0036] In other words, this embodiment can use license plate molds and / or license plate numbers as interference devices. By using the occupancy device, richer information such as license plate molds and / or license plate numbers can be obtained to determine the parking space status, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined target parking space status.

[0037] In this embodiment, when executing S103 to determine that there is an interfering device on the occupancy device, the following method can also be used: detect whether the occupancy device generates a geomagnetic interference signal; if it is determined that the occupancy device generates a geomagnetic interference signal, determine that there is an interfering device on the occupancy device.

[0038] In this embodiment, when performing S103 to detect whether the occupancy device generates a geomagnetic interference signal, a geomagnetic detector can be used to detect whether the magnetic field of the target parking space changes, and then the change in the magnetic field can be used to determine whether the occupancy device generates a geomagnetic interference signal. In this embodiment, the magnetic field of the target parking space can be affected by adding a geomagnetic jammer to the occupancy device.

[0039] In other words, this embodiment can use a geomagnetic jammer as an interference device. By using the occupancy device, it can obtain richer information such as whether the magnetic field of the target parking space has changed to determine the parking space status, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined target parking space status.

[0040] Compared to existing technologies that rely solely on occupancy devices without interference, this embodiment improves the effectiveness of occupying a target parking space by detecting the presence of interference devices on the occupancy device, thereby enhancing the accuracy of the determined parking space status.

[0041] After executing S103 to set the occupied state as the parking space state of the target parking space, this embodiment may also include the following: determining the current parking space state of the target parking space; if it is determined that the current parking space state is not occupied, adjusting the current parking space state to occupied, for example, adjusting the green light indicating an empty state to a red light indicating an occupied state.

[0042] That is to say, in this embodiment, the current parking space status of the target parking space can be adjusted according to the determined parking space status, improving the real-time performance during the adjustment of the parking space status.

[0043] In addition, when executing S103 in this embodiment, if it is determined that there is no interference device on the occupancy device, the idle status is used as the parking space status of the target parking space; it can also further determine whether the current parking space status is the idle status to adjust the current parking space status of the target parking space in real time.

[0044] After this embodiment executes S103 and uses the occupied status as the parking space status of the target parking space, the following content may also be included: determining whether the target vehicle corresponding to the target parking space enters the parking lot; in the case of determining that the target vehicle enters the parking lot, adjusting the current parking space status of the target parking space to the idle status; planning a parking path according to the position of the target vehicle and the target parking space; sending the planned parking path to the target vehicle.

[0045] That is to say, this embodiment can also adjust the current parking space status of the target parking space according to whether the target vehicle corresponding to the target parking space enters the parking lot, so that after the target vehicle enters the parking lot, it can obtain the parking path more quickly and timely for parking, thereby improving the parking efficiency of the vehicle.

[0046] Through the above method, this embodiment can more accurately determine the parking space status of the target parking space by modifying the occupancy device, that is, adding a license plate mold, license plate number, or geomagnetic interferometer, etc. to the occupancy device, with low cost and easy implementation.

[0047] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the occupancy device including the interference device in this embodiment is shown: adding a license plate mold (i.e., Figure 2 the text plate marked with "DU·AISPACE" in ) to the traditional "Do Not Park" sign. The license plate mold in this embodiment does not include a specific license plate number.

[0048] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 The flowchart of parking according to the method for determining the parking space status provided in this embodiment is shown: The parking user obtains the parking space status of the parking spaces in the parking lot through the map application or the parking mini-program; the server for managing the parking spaces in the parking lot, in addition to the traditional methods (such as recognizing the license plates of the vehicles in the parking spaces, etc.), intervenes and manages through the occupancy device including the interference device located in the parking space to determine the parking space status of the parking space, and then determines the parkable parking spaces according to the parking space status of the parking space, and then generates a parking path according to the parkable parking spaces and sends it to the parking user.

[0049] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram according to the fourth embodiment of this disclosure. (See diagram below.) Figure 4 As shown, the parking space status determination device 400 of this embodiment includes:

[0050] Acquisition unit 401 is used to acquire the parking space image of the target parking space;

[0051] Determining unit 402 is used to determine the occupancy device in the target parking space based on the parking space image;

[0052] Processing unit 403 is used to take the occupancy status as the parking space status of the target parking space when it is determined that there is an intervention device on the occupancy device.

[0053] In this embodiment, the device for determining the parking space status is located on a server. This server is used to manage parking spaces in a parking lot and can guide vehicles waiting to park based on the parking space status.

[0054] The acquisition unit 401 first determines the target parking space, and then acquires the parking space image of the target parking space; the acquisition unit 401 can acquire a preset or real-time input parking space number, and then determine the target parking space based on the acquired parking space number.

[0055] When the acquisition unit 401 acquires the parking space image of the target parking space, it can acquire the image corresponding to the target parking space collected by the shooting device as the parking space image of the target parking space. In this embodiment, each shooting device can be used to monitor one or more parking spaces. That is, parking space images of different target parking spaces can be acquired by multiple shooting devices or by one shooting device.

[0056] The number of target parking spaces determined by the acquisition unit 401 can be one or more. When there are multiple target parking spaces, the acquisition unit 401 will acquire the parking space image of each target parking space and then determine the parking space status of different target parking spaces based on the different parking space images.

[0057] In this embodiment, after the acquisition unit 401 acquires the parking space image of the target parking space, the determination unit 402 determines the occupant in the target parking space based on the parking space image.

[0058] In this embodiment, the occupancy device is a device located in the parking space that is used to obstruct vehicle parking. It can be a sign with specific words such as "No Parking", "Reserved Parking Space", or "VIP Parking Space", or it can be a ground lock installed in the parking space. This embodiment does not limit the type or number of occupancy devices in the parking space.

[0059] When determining the occupant in the target parking space based on the parking space image, the determining unit 402 may adopt the following optional implementation method: based on the parking space image, obtain the objects contained in the target parking space and the image features corresponding to the objects; calculate the similarity between the obtained image features and the target features; and take the objects corresponding to the image features whose similarity meets the preset requirements as the occupant in the target parking space.

[0060] The determining unit 402 can obtain target features in advance based on images corresponding to different types of occupancy devices; wherein, different target features correspond to different types of occupancy devices, and in this embodiment, the target features can be one or multiple.

[0061] To improve the accuracy of detecting whether there is an occupancy device in the target parking space, the determining unit 402 can calculate the similarity between each image feature and different target features; therefore, when determining image features whose similarity meets the preset requirements, the determining unit 402 can determine image features whose similarity exceeds the preset threshold, or it can determine the image feature with the greatest similarity.

[0062] When determining the occupancy device in the target parking space based on the parking space image, the determining unit 402 may also use the following method: input the acquired parking space image into the occupancy device detection model; determine the occupancy device in the target parking space based on the output result of the occupancy device detection model; wherein, in this embodiment, the occupancy device detection model can use boxes to annotate the occupancy devices in the parking space image.

[0063] Understandably, if the determining unit 402 determines that there is no occupancy device in the target parking space, the execution of subsequent steps will be suspended.

[0064] In this embodiment, after the determining unit 402 determines the occupancy device in the target parking space, the processing unit 403 adjusts the parking space status of the target parking space to an occupied state if it determines that there is an intervention device on the occupancy device.

[0065] When the processing unit 403 determines that there is an intervention device on the occupancy device, the optional implementation method can be: detect whether there is license plate information on the occupancy device; if it is determined that there is license plate information on the occupancy device, determine that there is an intervention device on the occupancy device.

[0066] When the processing unit 403 detects whether there is license plate information on the occupancy device, it can detect whether there is a license plate mold (the license plate mold has the same size as the real license plate and may not contain the license plate number) on the occupancy device through image recognition, or it can detect whether there is a license plate number on the occupancy device (for example, by displaying the license plate number on the display screen on the occupancy device), or it can detect whether there is a license plate mold containing the license plate number on the occupancy device, etc.

[0067] In other words, the processing unit 403 can use the license plate mold and / or license plate number as an interference device. By using the occupancy device, it can obtain richer information such as the license plate mold and / or license plate number to determine the parking space status, thereby improving the accuracy of the parking space status of the determined target parking space.

[0068] When the processing unit 403 determines that there is an interfering device on the occupancy device, it may also use the following method: detect whether the occupancy device generates a geomagnetic interference signal; if it is determined that the occupancy device generates a geomagnetic interference signal, determine that there is an interfering device on the occupancy device.

[0069] When the processing unit 403 detects whether the occupancy device generates a geomagnetic interference signal, it can detect whether the magnetic field of the target parking space changes by using a geomagnetic detector, and then determine whether the occupancy device generates a geomagnetic interference signal based on whether the magnetic field changes. In this embodiment, the magnetic field of the target parking space can be affected by adding a geomagnetic jammer to the occupancy device.

[0070] In other words, the processing unit 403 can use the geomagnetic jammer as an interference device, and obtain richer information such as whether the magnetic field of the target parking space has changed through the occupancy device to determine the parking space status, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined parking space status.

[0071] The parking space status determination device 400 in this embodiment may further include an adjustment unit 404, which is used to perform the following: after the processing unit 403 sets the occupancy status as the parking space status of the target parking space, determine the current parking space status of the target parking space; if it is determined that the current parking space status is not an occupancy status, adjust the current parking space status to an occupancy status, for example, adjust the green light indicating an vacancy status to a red light indicating an occupancy status.

[0072] In other words, the adjustment unit 404 can adjust the current parking status of the target parking space according to the determined parking space status, thereby improving the real-time performance of the parking space status adjustment.

[0073] In addition, if the processing unit 403 determines that there is no interfering device on the occupancy device, it will take the idle state as the parking space state of the target parking space; it can also further determine whether the current parking space state is idle, so as to adjust the current parking space state of the target parking space in real time.

[0074] The parking space status determination device 400 in this embodiment may further include a planning unit 405, which is used to perform the following: after the processing unit 403 sets the occupancy status as the parking space status of the target parking space, determine whether the target vehicle corresponding to the target parking space has entered the parking lot; if it is determined that the target vehicle has entered the parking lot, adjust the current parking space status of the target parking space to the vacant status; plan a parking path according to the location of the target vehicle and the target parking space; and send the parking path to the target vehicle.

[0075] In other words, the planning unit 405 can also adjust the current parking status of the target parking space based on whether the target vehicle corresponding to the target parking space has entered the parking lot, so that the target vehicle can obtain the parking path more quickly and timely after entering the parking lot, thereby improving the parking efficiency of the vehicle.
