Parking Lot Availability Counter (Computer Vision Project)

This is a computer vision project that detects location of available parking slots and total available slots available as shown in the upper left of the gif above.

How it works

The availability of a slot is detected by counting the number of nonzeros in each box for each slot.

we can see here that the white pixels indicating that there is something in the slot. The number of nonzero pixels is counted for each slot and compare it to a threshold to decide if it is available or not.
