Parking Lot Occupancy Detection

This repository contains the code to reproduce the result of Deep learning for decentralized parking lot occupancy detection. More details regarding the paper can be found on CNRPark+EXT, where dataset and labels could be downloaded. This reproduction code is done by Hao Liu, Sigurd Totland, and Yen-Lin Wu.

Download dataset

There are 3 sets of dataset and their labels required to run this code. Run get_dataset.sh as follows:

bash get_dataset.sh

This command will download the datasets and unzip them in the project root directory. Make sure to include the correct directory in the next section when parsing the argument.

Running the code

Run the code as follows:

python3 main.py

By default, it runs epochs=18, train on CNRPark Even and test on CNRPark Odd. If a trained model is to be loaded and test on other dataset (i.e. .pth file exists), or AlexNet is to be used, run the following command:

python3 main.py --path trained_model/sunny.pth --model AlexNet

See arguments in options.py.

Requirements

python >= 3.6
pytorch >= 0.4

Results

For the moment, only Table 2 and Figure 5 are reproduced from the paper. Some variances could be observed from the results compared to paper. The optimal epochs for each experiment are still being worked on.

Results of Table 2 are shown below, with epochs=18.
