4. In claim 3, The above control server comprises: a server communication unit that receives parking information data and video data transmitted from the field communication unit in real time; a cloud storage unit that stores the parking information data and video data received from the server communication unit in the cloud; a parking fee settlement unit that calculates the parking fee using the parking information data received from the server communication unit and collects the parking fee from the user through the mobile device; a 3D mapping unit in which an irregular parking lot and a parked vehicle are mapped in 3D based on the parking information data and video data received from the server communication unit and provided to the mobile device; a parking space reservation unit that enables the user to reserve or rent a parking space in the irregular parking lot using the mobile device; and a parking situation sharing unit in which the parking situation of the irregular parking lot is shared in real time with other platforms.
5. In the method of operating an intelligent unmanned parking control system using a high-speed rotating camera of claim 4, Step 1, in which a vehicle enters and is parked in an irregular parking lot; A second step in which a PTZ rotating camera tracks and films the vehicle; A third step in which a vehicle is recognized and a license plate is recognized in the image data captured in the second step above; A fourth step in which parking information data is generated by integrating the vehicle information, space information, entry/exit information, facility information, and management information of the above vehicle and transmitted to a control server; A fifth step in which a parking fee is calculated using the parking information data at the control server and the parking fee is shared with the user via a mobile device; and A method of operating an intelligent unmanned parking control system using a high-speed rotating camera, comprising: a sixth step in which, when the vehicle finishes parking and leaves the irregular parking lot, the PTZ rotating camera tracks and photographs it, updates the vehicle information and transmits it to the control server, calculates the final parking fee, and the user settles the parking fee through the mobile device.

Description

Intelligent Unmanned Parking Control System Using High-Speed Rotating Camera and Operation Method Thereof The present invention relates to an intelligent unmanned parking control system using a high-speed rotating camera and a method of operating the same. More specifically, the invention relates to an intelligent unmanned parking control system using a high-speed rotating camera and a method of operating the same, which tracks and photographs a vehicle parked in an irregular space such as a variable road or an open space using a rotating PTZ camera, recognizes the vehicle number, generates parking information by synthesizing vehicle information, space information, entry/exit information, facility information, and management information, transmits the generated parking information to a control server, and shares the parking information with a user's mobile device. With the rapid increase in the number of registered vehicles, there is currently one car for every two people in South Korea. Due to an insufficient parking system compared to the increased number of vehicles, habitual illegal parking has become rampant for reasons such as saving on fees and the lack of parking spaces, paralyzing road functions and exacerbating the inconvenience for residents. Furthermore, as accidents caused by illegal parking can lead to major disasters, the issue of parking has significantly escalated into a major social concern. According to a survey, respondents believe that a significant portion of domestic traffic problems stems from illegal parking (85.9%), and traffic congestion caused by illegally parked vehicles is increasing. When asked about the reasons for domestic parking issues, many citizens cited a shortage of parking spaces (53.2%). Therefore, expanding public parking lots and introducing parking control systems are urgent measures to resolve the problem of illegal parking.
