Chulaka,
One idea I can think of right now, is that if the cement/parking
lot is black, you might be able to draw lines across the rows of parked
cars, and try to pick out the drops in the plot profile arrays to count
the number of spots that don't have cars. Of course this won't work
perfectly, since some cars are black, and you'd have to figure out how
to deal with the spaces in between the cars that are also black, but it
may be an idea. Another idea is to convert the image to 8-bit greyscale
and threshold to count the number of cars, then subtract that from the
number of the available spots. Again though, black cars would be a
problem. Interesting project! I hope this might get you started.
