1. A parking management apparatus comprising:
- a server;
a plurality of intelligent cameras which detect a vehicle through image recognition to create information about the position of the vehicle and an object ID of the vehicle, and send the information about the position and the object ID to the server;
a vehicle recognition unit configured to obtain a license plate number of the vehicle and an entry time of the vehicle and to send the license plate number of the vehicle and the entry time of the vehicle to the server; and
a display device configured to display at least one of the information about the position, the license plate number, the entry time, and an image of the vehicle,wherein when the detected vehicle moves into a hand-over region in which visual fields of at least two intelligent cameras overlap, the server sends the object ID to another intelligent camera which shares with the visual field.
