In densely populated cities, parking space scarcity results in issues like traffic congestion and difficulty finding parking spots. Recent advancements in computer vision have introduced methods to address parking lot management challenges. The availability of public image datasets and rapid growth in deep learning technology has led to vision-based parking management studies, offering advantages over sensor-based systems in comprehensive area coverage, cost reduction, and additional functionalities. This study presents an innovative fusion algorithm that integrates object detection with occupancy state algorithms to accurately identify vacant parking spaces. The employment of the YOLOv7 framework for vehicle instance segmentation, combined with three occupancy algorithms Euclidean distance (ED), intersection over reference (IoR), and intersection over union (IoU) are compared to determine the occupancy state of observed areas. The proposed method is evaluated using the CNRPark-EXT dataset, and its performance is compared with state-of-the-art methods. As a result, the proposed approach demonstrates robustness under varying conditions. It outperforms existing methods in terms of system evaluation performance, achieving accuracies of 98.88%, 97.99%, and 90.04% for ED, IoR, and IoU, respectively. This fusion detection method enhances adaptability and addresses occlusions, emphasizing YOLOv7’s advantages and accurate shape approximation for slot annotation. This study contributes valuable insights for effective parking management systems and has potential usage in the real-world implementation of intelligent transportation systems. © 2024 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.
