The invention relates to a video-based illegal parking 
monitoring system, which mainly solves a technical problem of lack of vehicle owner tolerance existing in the prior art. The technical problem is well solved by adopting the technical scheme that the video-based illegal parking 
monitoring system comprises cameras arranged in a distributed manner, a 
communication unit, a storage medium and a processor, and the processor is used for executing a violation 
vehicle detection and recognition program so as to execute the steps of reading video data of the cameras, performing mixed 
Gaussian background modeling to obtain a regular 
background image in adjacent video images, comparing an input image I(x, y) and the 
background image, and separating a vibration vehicle motion foreground image; judging illegal parking by adopting a continuous inter-frame 
displacement method; performing 
corrosion and expansion, filtering and 
smoothing and contour extraction to obtain a contour, acquiring bounding rectangle, performing length-
width ratio screening to obtain an illegal parking vehicle image; extracting 
license plate information of the illegal parking vehicle; and calling a 
communication unit to notify a vehicle owner to eliminate the illegal parking behavior within an allowable time threshold. The video-based illegal parking 
monitoring system is used in illegal parking detection.
