Abstract
Systems and methods for vehicle detection within a vehicle parking facility. The system includes one or more vehicle detection sensors positioned about the vehicle parking facility. The system includes processor executable instructions for determining a measure of available parking spaces based on sensor data from one or more vehicle detection sensors. The system receives, from an image capture device, image data representing an occupancy state of discrete parking spaces. The system determines, based on the image data, that a subject vehicle occupying a target parking space additionally occupies an area external to the target parking space and, in response, determines a number of unusable parking spaces. The system generates and transmits, to a display, parking space inventory data based on the determined number of unusable parking spaces and the measure of available parking spaces.
