Parking Space Detection in the city of Granada

The Parking Space Detection Project is a comprehensive exploration into applying deep learning models for the semantic segmentation of parking spaces in urban environments. Developed with a focus on Granada, Spain, this initiative leverages cutting-edge AI techniques to analyze aerial and street-level imagery for efficient parking space management, aiming to contribute valuable insights into urban planning and traffic control.

Features

• Models Used: Incorporates advanced segmentation models including PSPNet, DeepLabV3+ and Dynamic U-Net.
• Datasets: Utilizes diverse datasets like UDD5, UAVid and a specially curated Granada dataset, GranadaAerial, to train and validate the models.
• Custom Data Augmentation: Employs different data augmentation strategies to enhance model performance under varied urban scenarios.
• Transfer Learning: Applies transfer learning to adapt pre-trained models to specific characteristics of urban Granada.
• Model Evaluation: Detailed performance analysis of each model, showcasing DeepLabV3+ as the most effective for this application.

Training

The training module is used to train the models on the given dataset. The training module can be executed using the following command from the root directory of the project:

python -m src.models.train
