Video Security - A Key
for Activating the Parking Control Market
The car number
identification system is to recognize the car number as text based on the image
information received from the camera separately, and the car number
identification system camera was first used in Korea in the late 1990s. At that
time, it was expensive equipment, and it was mainly used for road security for
interception of wandering vehicles. In 2002, Incheon International Airport was
opened and a parking lot with car number identification system was established.
Incheon
International Airport used German system, the durability was good, but the
introduction cost was high. Thanks to the activation of the intelligent parking
control market, the car number identification system has attracted new
attention. With the improvement of identification technology, there’s been
price drop, and which makes the widespread popularity of the car number
identification system cameras possible. It has become possible to solve serious
urban parking problems through a combination of parking lot, car number
identification system technology and ICT.
In early March this
year, at the World Security Expo (SECON) 2019 held in KINTEX, Ilsan,
Gyeonggi-do, a lot of car number identification system cameras were exhibited. They
are Hanwha-Tech-Win, which is 1st video security company in Korea, as well as
Hik-Vision, which is 1st in global market share, and QDIS, which has just threw
its
hat into the ring on the video security market.
Hanwha-Tech-Win and
its partners have launched a car number identification system-based parking
control solution that can monitor 5-megapixel high-resolution images even in
low-light areas. Hik-Vision presented a deep-learning-algorithm based car
number identification camera and parking guidance system. QDIS is an automotive
video interface company that has recently threw its hat into
the ring on the video
security market and has set its sights on the intelligent parking control
market.
▲QDIS PANOREFLEX IP CAMERA
QDIS
ambitious work is 12-megapixel 360-degree PANORAMA IP camera that has been in
production since the second half of last year. It is a proprietary product using
the patented panorama reflex lens of QDIS. In addition, QDIS has completed the
development of an 8-sides car number identification solution and
a parking guidance solution capable of detecting up to 12~16 parking surface.
The parking guidance solution is equipped with an image analysis function that
notifies the user of the possibility of parking with a green alarm lamp and
performs security functions.
According
to the industry, the car identification technology can be divided into
one-sided LPR and multi-sided LPR. One-sided LPR technology is installed at the
entrance of the vehicle, recognizing the car number, and is close to
completion. Multi-sided LPR is a level of 2 ~ 4 levels when we divide the skill
level into 5 levels. There is also a need to reduce the number of cars
recognized because errors may occur depending on external environmental
factors. The illumination of the parking lot, the narrow passage of the indoor
parking lot, the blind spot, and particulate matterwill affect the car number identification. It is also important to
secure high-quality images for image analysis.
Intelligent
Parking Control and Smart City
As
mentioned at the beginning, the future of intelligent parking control is
autonomous vehicles. Experts say that it is not necessary to own a car when it
comes to autonomous era. This is because you only need to call autonomous cars
when you need them. You do not need to have a parking space in your residence,
you do not even have to check the parking space while setting a promised place.
In this case, users get out of trouble, but parking is a war for autonomous
vehicles. At this point, the parking lot can be said to be the beginning and
the future of the autonomous era. Therefore, smart parking and connected
parking service, which combines parking, video security and ICT, attracts
attention.
In
order to have intelligent parking control service, the affiliated parking lot
should be increased first. Nowadays, intelligent parking control service
providers are concentrating on expanding partnership. Improvement of parking
facilities is also necessary. Basically, it should have a car identification
system for checking the entrance and exit, a sensor for checking the free
parking area, and an unmanned checkout machine. With the advent of the fourth
industrial revolution era and the expansion of the construction of smart
cities, image security that can act as a person's eyes has become a field that
can be converged in any industries and fields.
In
order to realize smart mobility services including parking lot sharing and car
sharing across the metropolitan area, it is necessary to combine 4th industrial
revolution technology such as video security, artificial intelligence (AI),
object internet (IoT) and big data. This is a key component of Smart City. In
the future, intelligent parking control systems are expected to become smarter.
In the field of parking control, people will also pay more attention to
providing safe and convenient services by combining with various physical and
cyber security technologies. To do so, cooperation between the existing parking
sector and the security sector needs to be closer.
