Smart Parking System Using YOLO, ANPR and MQTT with Artificial Intelligence Features

Smart parking systems leverage advanced technologies to optimize parking space utilization and enhance user experience. This research paper explores the design, implementation, and evaluation of a smart parking system aimed at improving accessibility and security in urban parking facilities. It utilizes real-time sensor data to provide accurate parking availability information and empowers users to book slots through a secure mobile web app. The app integrates user-friendly navigation to guide drivers to their booked spots. OTP generation bolsters security, preventing unauthorized parking occupancy. One of the most significant and difficult problems in image-based sequence recognition is scene text recognition, which is the focus of this study's investigation. A brand-new neural network architecture is put forth that unifies transcription, sequence modelling, and feature extraction into a single framework. It performs admirably in both lexicon-free and lexicon-based scene text recognition tasks and is not restricted to any predefined lexicon. It produces a much more manageable and effective model, making it more suitable for real-world application scenarios.
