  • a) computing one or more measurements associated with a stationary object found at a first location;

    b) classifying the stationary object as being representative of a vehicle parked at the first location based on the one or more measurements associated with the stationary object;

    c) capturing one or more images of the vehicle parked at the first location;

    d) processing the one or more images of the vehicle to extract one or more present vehicle identifiers associated with the vehicle, and recording a time the one or more images were taken, a co-ordinate set associated with the first location and the one or more identifiers associated with the vehicle;

    e) determining a time duration for which parking is allowed at the first location; and

    f) comparing the present vehicle identifiers with previously recorded vehicle identifiers associated with the first location to determine if the vehicle has been parked at the first location for a period exceeding the time duration.
