Abstract:

Investigation and punishment of vehicle parking violations is important in urban traffic management. Considering the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of manual law enforcement, as well as the limited scope of fixed camera monitoring and detecting, exploring more flexible and efficient automatic detection methods has a great practical significance. Thus, a cruise detection technology is proposed, which is suitable for mobile carriers requiring no stopping and can be completed in a single pass. First, a vehicle parking violation image dataset named XMUT-VPI is collected and constructed under the conditions of approximate horizontal views and random shooting angles, laying a data foundation for the research. Then, a multitask parking network (MTPN) is constructed as an encoder to extract the key element information required for stop violation judgment. With the aid of the self-designed deformable large kernel feature aggregation module (DLKA-C2f) and cross-task interaction attention mechanism (CTIAM), a highest average detection accuracy of 90.3%, a minimum average positioning error of 4.4%, and a suboptimal average segmentation intersection ratio accuracy of 78.5% are achieved. Finally, an efficient decoder is designed to further extract the skeleton features of the parking space line and fit the visible area of the main parking space, which helps match the target vehicle and analyzes the positional condition between its tire ground-touching points and the main parking space. In addition, a judgment principle is provided for three typical behaviors of illegal parking, improper parking, and standardized parking. Experimental results show that the algorithm attains a comprehensive accuracy rate of 98.1% for vehicle parking violation detections across diverse complex interference scenarios, which outperforms existing mainstream methods and can provide technical supports for fully automate road cruise management of parking violatic.
