Abstract: Due to high population growth, car demand has increased at an alarming rate. This leads to increase in demand for more parking slots, which poses an acute problem, especially, when we are concerned with metro and fairly large cities. A solution to this problem on priority basis is necessary. People should have to cater to the illegal parking aspect as well. This paper deals with the detection of illegal parking and it also helps to identify the vehicles, which are parked in non-parking areas and send information regarding those vehicles to the control office. Thus it is meant for decreasing the number of illegal parking. A Raspberry Pi processor is the main device, which is able to manage the whole task. Advanced techniques of image processing, using Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), have been used in the model.
