  • Patent number: 10043307
    Abstract: A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for monitoring parking rule violations is presented. The method may include accessing a set of pixel coordinates defining a location of a vehicle within an image. The method may further include determining occupancy of a parking space depicted in the image based on the set of pixel coordinates, and determining a violation of a parking rule based on the occupancy of the parking space by the vehicle. The method may further include generating presentation data corresponding to a user interface that includes a geospatial map of an area that includes the parking space, and a visual indicator of the violation on the geospatial map at a location of the parking space. The method may further include causing presentation of the user interface on a client device communicatively coupled to the system.

  • Publication number: 20160307048
    Abstract: A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for simulating output of camera nodes configured to monitor parking is presented. The method may include generating a simulation file that includes entries mimicking camera node output, where each entry represents metadata associated with an image of a parking space and includes a timestamp and a set of pixel coordinates representing a location of a vehicle in the image. The method further includes simulating the output of the camera nodes using the simulation file. The simulating of the output of the particular camera node may include chronologically reading entries from the simulation file according to a chronology of the entries defined by the time stamps of each entry. The simulating of the output further may include generating a data packet for each entry and transmitting the data packet to a network-based processing system.
