Slot-Finder

This project was developed during a hackathon at RGMCET by BYTS INDIA(BYTS HACKLEAGUE 1.0) within a 24-hour timeframe.

Project Description

The Slot-Finder project is aimed at automating the process of monitoring and managing parking spaces. It utilizes computer vision techniques to detect the occupancy status of parking slots and provides real-time information about available and used slots. The project includes a user-friendly dashboard for monitoring and an interactive tool for customizing the parking slot layout. The project aims to provide the following functionality:

Slot Detector

The slot detector component utilizes computer vision techniques to identify available parking slots in a given video feed. It processes the video frames, applies image processing algorithms, and detects the occupancy status of parking slots. It provides accurate and real-time information on available and occupied slots.

Slot Finder

The slot finder component offers a user-friendly interface for defining and managing parking slots. It allows users to mark parking slots in a given image or video frame manually. Users can add new slots, remove existing slots, and update slot positions as needed. The slot finder facilitates the customization and adaptation of the system to different parking lot layouts.

Web-based Dashboard

The web-based dashboard provides a convenient and interactive way to visualize the parking slot status. It displays real-time information on available slots, used slots, and total slots. Users can access the dashboard through a web browser and monitor the parking situation remotely. The dashboard also includes login and registration functionality for user authentication and access control.

Features

• Real-time monitoring of parking space occupancy status
• Display of available slots, used slots, and total slots on the dashboard
• Automated slot detection using computer vision techniques
• Customizable parking slot layout through an interactive GUI
• Efficient utilization of parking space and improved user experience

Code Files

• dashboard.html: HTML template for the project's dashboard user interface
• main.py: Flask application for processing parking space data and rendering the dashboard template
• slot_detector.py: Implementation of the slot detection algorithm using computer vision techniques
• slot_finder.py: Interactive tool for manually defining the parking slot layout
