Video-based method for parking angle violation detection
First Claim
1. A method for determining a parking angle violation, the method comprising:
- receiving video data from a sequence of frames taken from an associated image capture device monitoring a parking area;
determining a first line in a current frame where the first line represents a nominal orientation of the parking area;
detecting a presence of a vehicle in the parking area;
determining a second line in the frame where the second line represents an orientation of the detected vehicle;
computing an angle between the first and second lines, the angle representing an orientation of the vehicle relative to a nominal orientation of the parking area; and
,determining whether the detected vehicle is violating a parking regulation based on the computed angle.

Abstract
A method and a system for determining a parking angle violation includes receiving video data from a sequence of frames taken from an image capture device monitoring a parking area. The method further includes determining a first line in a current frame where the line represents a nominal orientation of the parking area. The method includes detecting a presence of a vehicle in the parking area. The method includes determining a second line in the frame where the line represents the orientation of the detected vehicle. The method further includes computing an angle between the first and second lines. The method includes determining whether the detected vehicle is violating a parking regulation based on the computed angle.
