Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système de surveillance de stationnement pour la surveillance d'un stationnement dans une zone de stationnement, telle qu'un parc de stationnement ou un garage de stationnement. Un premier dispositif d'imagerie capture des images d'un identificateur d'un véhicule, tel qu'une plaque d'immatriculation du véhicule, lorsque ce dernier entre dans la zone de stationnement. Un second dispositif d'imagerie capture des images du véhicule lorsque ce dernier se déplace à l'intérieur de la zone de stationnement. Un dispositif de commande de stationnement détermine à partir d'une image obtenue par le premier dispositif d'imagerie une identité du véhicule, et associe l'identité du véhicule à des images du véhicule obtenues par le second dispositif d'imagerie.
