It addresses issues such as the automatic detection of parking spaces, the identification of congested areas with vehicles, and the generation of relevant information, such as the usage time of specific road infrastructures in urban areas.<\/p><p>The solutions developed in this project could, for example, assist drivers in finding the nearest available parking space, saving time and fuel. Additionally, these solutions open up the possibility of creating new business opportunities, such as automated billing based on the duration a vehicle occupies a specific parking

automatically <strong>identify parking areas using cameras, entirely without human intervention<\/strong>. This allows us to map and subsequently monitor these regions within <strong>smart cities<\/strong> with minimal effort.<\/p><p>The core innovation of this work is the method named GraphSpot. Unlike traditional approaches that look for painted lines on the ground, our technique uses an instance segmentation network to detect vehicles and generate an occurrence-based &#8216;Heat Map&#8217;. The system is capable of learning the entire parking lot layout by observing just a single day of operation, identifying areas where vehicles frequently park and automatically drawing parking space boundaries. Tests showed an accuracy of up to 95.6% (AP25), proving effective even in parking lots without visible markings or with irregular occupancy.<\/p><p>In the video below, you can observe the system in action, employing a fusion of instance segmentation networks and image processing to automatically process images from a typical workday.
