Abstract

There is provided an image processing device including an image input unit configured to input captured image data of a portion of parking stalls that are compartmented at least by a first side line extending in a first direction and a second side line extending in the first direction, an image processing unit configured to generate edge image data by performing an edge extraction process on the captured image data, and a parking determination unit configured to obtain an integrated value of edge pixels of the first direction portion corresponding to the parking stalls in each position of a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction based on the edge image data, and then to determine whether or not vehicles are parked in the parking stalls based on the obtained integrated value of each position of the second direction.
