«Parking Spots» – is an easy way to get information about the parking load
the new module in Xeoma
The «Parking Spots» Additional module of the Xeoma video surveillance software is used to automatically determine and update the status (empty/occupied) of parking spaces in a parking lot (when used in combination with Object Recognition or ANPR modules). When used in combination with other Xeoma modules, can be used to detect change of the “free/taken” status of other object types in other spheres (cinema, etc.).
|
Starting with Xeoma beta 23.3.22 car recognition algorithms are already built into the “Parking spots” module itself, so the additional “Object Recognition” module is no longer required to detect the place’s state change caused by cars. |
The Parking Spots Additional module is used to automatically determine and update the status (empty/occupied) of parking spaces in a parking lot.
Connect this module to the chain after the module that will detect required types of objects (for example, the Object Recognizer set for detection of cars/planes/buses).
In the settings of the “Parking Spots” module, place a point in the center of each parking slot. The module will monitor the appearance of this type of objects (for example, vehicles) in the parking spots – or its disappearance.
Important: if another objects type appears in the selected area, the module will not be triggered, which guarantees a high level of accuracy of the detector.
For notifications and statistics collection, connect the email notification or sending HTTP commands modules in the chain after this module. Besides use in paid parking lots, the module can also be used to detect other objects types.
* In the next release of Xeoma, the functionality of the Object Recognition module (the option for car recognition) will be integrated into the Parking Spots module. Now you do not have to buy the Object Recognition Additional module for the functioning of the Parking Spots module, which was essential in previous versions!
The new Parking Spots Additional module in Xeoma is a way of detecting the required type of objects in the selected zones. Application examples below:
Detect empty/occupied parking spaces, get notifications and display the information on the scoreboard. Record all data in a csv report and calculate the cost of parking for each car.
In the Parking Spots module, select the zones (chairs), and set the Object Recognizer to react to people. This way you will have information on empty/occupied cinema seats, so you can estimate the popularity of your cinema and certain movies.
Tracking the presence of employees in the workplace. Configure Object Recognizer to react to people and select zones (workplaces) in the Parking Spots module.
The Parking Spots module can be used by the police to detect illegal parking in restricted areas.
Automatic detection of free parking area in the airport
Detect free parking spots at the bus station.
An ordinary modern computer can cope with the load from the module.
You can use any camera: no expensive cameras with built-in sensors and artificial intelligence capabilities are required.
Works on multiple operation systems: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Linux (ARM architecture), Android and even Raspberry!
1. Download Xeoma from official website and launch it. Make sure your Xeoma is in a trial edition or activate a Pro or Standard edition license, as well as the license for the Parking Spots Additional module.
2. Add a camera or let Xeoma add a default one for you.
3. Add the Object recognizer module to a chain and set reactions to the needed objects (e.g. cars).
4. Add the Parking Spots module to the chain after the Object recognizer.
5. Add to the chain necessary filters and reactions after the module.
