description The parking problem, which is caused by a low parking space utilization ratio, has always plagued drivers. In this work, we proposed an intelligent detection method based on deep learning technology. First, we constructed a TensorFlow deep learning platform for detecting vehicles. Second, the optimal time interval for extracting video stream images was determined in accordance with the judgment time for finding a parking space and the length of time taken by a vehicle from arrival to departure. Finally, the parking space order and number were obtained in accordance with the data layering method and the TimSort algorithm, and parking space vacancy was judged via the indirect Monte Carlo method. To improve the detection accuracy between vehicles and parking spaces, the distance between the vehicles in the training dataset was greater than that of the vehicles observed during detection. A case study verified the reliability of the parking space order and number and the judgment of parking space vacancies.
