## Parking Management System Code Workflow |
|
|
|
### Selection of Points |
|
|
|
!!! tip "Point Selection is now Easy" |
|
|
|
Choosing parking points is a critical and complex task in parking management systems. Ultralytics streamlines this process by providing a tool that lets you define parking lot areas, which can be utilized later for additional processing. |
|
|
|
- Capture a frame from the video or camera stream where you want to manage the parking lot. |
|
- Use the provided code to launch a graphical interface, where you can select an image and start outlining parking regions by mouse click to create polygons. |
|
|
|
!!! warning "Image Size" |
|
|
|
Max Image Size of 1920 * 1080 supported |
|
|
|
!!! example "Parking slots Annotator Ultralytics YOLO11" |
|
|
|
=== "Parking Annotator" |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from ultralytics import solutions |
|
|
|
solutions.ParkingPtsSelection() |
|
``` |
|
|
|
- After defining the parking areas with polygons, click `save` to store a JSON file with the data in your working directory. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
### Python Code for Parking Management |
|
|
|
!!! example "Parking management using YOLO11 Example" |
|
|
|
=== "Parking Management" |
|
|
|
```python |
|
import cv2 |
|
|
|
from ultralytics import solutions |
|
|
|
# Video capture |
|
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("Path/to/video/file.mp4") |
|
assert cap.isOpened(), "Error reading video file" |
|
w, h, fps = (int(cap.get(x)) for x in (cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS)) |
|
|
|
# Video writer |
|
video_writer = cv2.VideoWriter("parking management.avi", cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*"mp4v"), fps, (w, h)) |
|
|
|
# Initialize parking management object |
|
parking_manager = solutions.ParkingManagement( |
|
model="yolo11n.pt", # path to model file |
|
json_file="bounding_boxes.json", # path to parking annotations file |
|
) |
|
|
|
while cap.isOpened(): |
|
ret, im0 = cap.read() |
|
if not ret: |
|
break |
|
im0 = parking_manager.process_data(im0) |
|
video_writer.write(im0) |
|
|
|
cap.release() |
|
