Using OpenCV libraries, a C++ code that is able to classify between full and free parking spot, in real time.

MATTEO RAGNI 161822 - Homework 2 - Computer vision

Simply compile the whole project with the provided Makefile. The makefile is written for Debian based Linux distribution. OpenCV libraries are required to compile the project (libopencv-dev). To install opencv libreries just type in a root console:

apt-get install libopencv-dev

From the root folder of the project, type

make

to create executables file.

In this project only the main application and the first utility are provided The main application, named ParkAssistant must be runned with two arguments:

./ParkAssistant configuration_file.yml video_file.avi [ffwd >= 1]

a configuration file is provided under the name of sample_configuration.yml. The video file is not provided for reason of space.

Once runned, ParkAssistant shows the initialization situation for 10 seconds, than it starts with the real time acquisition.

The utility is used to calibrate the position of the parking spots, using the mouse directly on the image. The left button of the mouse (4 consecutive clicks) are used to generate the polylines, while two consecutive right clicks are used to draw a rect. The utility should be launched as it follows:

./utility video_file.avi frame_number
