LOCALIZADOR ESTEREOSCÓPICO DE PLAZAS LIBRES DE APARCAMIENTO STEREOSCOPIC LOCKER FREE PARKING PLACES
PARA VEHÍCULOS AUTOMÓVILES FOR AUTOMOBILE VEHICLES
Sector de la técnica Technical sector
El sector técnico de la invención se refiere a un dispositivo para detectar la presencia de un vehículo en una plaza de aparcamiento.  The technical sector of the invention relates to a device for detecting the presence of a vehicle in a parking space.
La invención está igualmente encuadrada en el sector de la automatización de aparcamientos y ayudas a la conducción. The invention is also framed in the area of parking automation and driving aids.
Estado de la técnica State of the art
En el mercado existen tres productos que son capaces de saber en tiempo real qué plazas de aparcamiento están libres y cuáles ocupadas: a) Por detectores de infrarrojo, láser, ultrasonidos: se compone de uno o más detectores instalados encima de cada plaza de aparcamiento a unos 2metros de altura. Precisan de una estructura metálica o pérgola para sostener los detectores y su cableado. b) Por detectores inductivos o capacitivos: se componen de uno o más detectores por plaza, y detectan la presencia de metal. Se instalan soterrados, en un hueco adecuado para ello con su correspondiente canaleta y acceso de mantenimiento. c) Por detectores de presión: se componen de uno o más detectores por plaza y detectan la presencia de una masa de más de 500kg en el área de aparcamiento. Se instalan soterrados, en una estructura móvil que accionan las ruedas del vehículo, o instalándose directamente en el cemento o asfalto durante el fraguado del pavimento. In the market there are three products that are able to know in real time which parking spaces are free and which ones are occupied: a) By infrared, laser, ultrasound detectors: it consists of one or more detectors installed above each parking space a About 2 meters high. They require a metal structure or pergola to support the detectors and their wiring. b) By inductive or capacitive detectors: they consist of one or more detectors per place, and detect the presence of metal. They are installed underground, in a hole suitable for this with its corresponding gutter and maintenance access. c) By pressure detectors: they consist of one or more detectors per place and detect the presence of a mass of more than 500kg in the parking area. They are installed underground, in a mobile structure that drives the wheels of the vehicle, or installed directly on the cement or asphalt during the setting of the pavement.
El sistema b) y c) raramente se usan para detectar presencia de vehículo en plaza de aparcamiento pues su instalación y mantenimiento es complejo y caro, quedando relegados a detectar presencia de vehículo en puertas, vallas de acceso y salida. El sistema a) que usa detectores infrarrojos o láser si se está implantando en muchos aparcamientos privados. The system b) and c) are rarely used to detect the presence of a vehicle in a parking space because its installation and maintenance is complex and expensive, being relegated to detect the presence of a vehicle in doors, access and exit fences. The system a) that uses infrared or laser detectors if it is being implemented in many private car parks.
Pero ninguno de los tres métodos se aplica en la vía a pública por precio, dificultades de implantación debido a interferencias con otras instalaciones, vehículos, viandantes, dificultades de mantenimiento o durabilidad. Imaginemos el precio o la dificultad de instalar una pérgola metálica suficientemente resistente por encima de las calles y que no interfiera con camiones o autobuses que desean aparcar o estén circulando. O el precio de levantar el pavimento para soterrar detectores y cableado, sin que interfieran con alcantarillas, tuberías, tendido eléctrico... , dificultando además futuras instalaciones de telefonía, gas,.. o incluso el reasfaltado de la vía. But none of the three methods is applied on the road to public by price, difficulties of implementation due to interference with other facilities, vehicles, pedestrians, maintenance difficulties or durability. Imagine the price or the difficulty of installing a sufficiently strong metal pergola above the streets and that does not interfere with trucks or buses that wish to park or are traveling. Or the price of lifting the pavement to bury detectors and wiring, without interfering with sewers, pipes, power lines ..., also hindering future telephone, gas, ... or even the resurfacing of the road.
Todos ellos precisan de uno o más detectores por plaza de aparcamiento, aumentando costes de compra e instalación. All of them require one or more detectors per parking space, increasing purchase and installation costs.
La mayoría se componen de múltiples elementos separados entre sí, e interconectados por cables de datos y alimentación. Gran parte de ellos no están pensados para trabajar a la intemperie y en sitios donde pueden ser susceptibles al vandalismo. Most are made up of multiple elements separated from each other, and interconnected by data and power cables. A large part of them are not designed to work outdoors and in places where they may be susceptible to vandalism.
Casi todos los detectores existentes necesitan estar cerca del vehículo a detectar, no más de 2m, y que el ángulo de incidencia del haz sea lo más perpendicular a la superficie. Si se aumenta la distancia de trabajo o la superficie donde incide es muy inclinada, la detección falla. Las superficies que apenas reflejan luz por ser oscuras o transparentes, o las muy satinadas que reflejan muy bien la luz, dan problemas y dificultan todavía más la detección. Almost all existing detectors need to be close to the vehicle to be detected, no more than 2m, and that the angle of incidence of the beam is as perpendicular to the surface. If the working distance is increased or the surface where it falls is very steep, the detection fails. Surfaces that barely reflect light because they are dark or transparent, or very bright ones that reflect light very well, give problems and make detection even more difficult.

Procedimiento, aplicaciones para móvil. Procedure, mobile applications.
Existen varias aplicaciones para móvil como Parcklick o Aparca&go, que gestionan el realquiler de plazas privadas e incluso indican como llegar hasta ellas. Sin embargo no gestionan plazas de aparcamiento públicas. Solo es útil para ios usuarios de la aplicación. Hay otras aplicaciones como Wazypark que sí intentan gestionar plazas de aparcamiento público. Es una aplicación colaborativa y depende de sus usuarios para mantener actualizada la base de datos. El número de usuarios actual es muy bajo para que su base de datos sea fiable, necesitaría de una colaboración masiva para ser eficiente, igual que la anterior solo es útil para ios usuarios de la aplicación. There are several mobile applications such as Parcklick or Aparca & go, which manage the rental of private places and even indicate how to get there. However, they do not manage public parking spaces. It is only useful for users of the application. There are other applications like Wazypark that do try to manage public parking spaces. It is a collaborative application and depends on its users to keep the database updated. The current number of users is very low so that your database is reliable, you would need a massive collaboration to be efficient, just as the previous one is only useful for users of the application.

En este caso la actualización de la base de datos es automática, pero al no tener en cuenta al resto de usuarios que no disponen de su sistema, la base de datos será muy poco fiable. In this case the update of the database is automatic, but not taking into account other users who do not have your system, the database will be very unreliable.

En esta patente española la invención gestiona el alquiler y localización de plazas de aparcamiento, pero siempre de carácter privado. El sistema se encarga de gestionar la entrada y salida de un usuario a un parking privado del cual no dispone de llave, pero no hay ningún elemento que detecte presencia en tiempo real de un vehículo en esa plaza. En la plaza podría estar aparcado el coche del dueño, pues ese día no cumplió el horario que proporciono al sistema. O podría estar el coche de otro miembro de la familia en la plaza. Solo es útil para los usuarios del sistema, y no gestiona plazas de aparcamiento públicas. In this Spanish patent the invention manages the rental and location of parking spaces, but always of a private nature. The system is responsible for managing the entry and exit of a user to a private parking lot which does not have a key, but there is no element that detects the presence in real time of a vehicle In that square. In the square the owner's car could be parked, because that day he did not meet the schedule that I provided to the system. Or there could be another family member's car in the square. It is only useful for system users, and does not manage public parking spaces.

En la actualidad existe una creciente demanda de plazas de aparcamiento en la vía pública, debido en gran medida al aumento del parque móvil. Cada vez que nos desplazamos con nuestros vehículos, al trabajo, de compras, al médico, a una cita importante nos vamos a encontrar con la necesidad de aparcar el vehículo. There is currently a growing demand for parking spaces on public roads, due in large part to the increase in the mobile park. Every time we move with our vehicles, to work, shopping, to the doctor, to an important appointment we will find the need to park the vehicle.
¿Cuánto tiempo perdido buscando una plaza libre?, ¿cuánto combustible desperdiciado? Aumentando nuestro estrés con cada minuto perdido. Para al final tener que aparcar lejos de nuestro destino, cuando realmente existía una plaza más cerca, o una plaza sin limitación de hora o gratis. No solo perdemos nuestro tiempo, si no que se lo hacemos perder a los demás, pues con cada persona que haya buscado aparcamiento el tráfico se congestionara más y más. How much time wasted looking for a free space? How much wasted fuel? Increasing our stress with every minute lost. To finally have to park far from our destination, when there really was a place closer, or a place without time or free. Not only do we waste our time, but we lose it to others, because with each person who has sought parking the traffic will get more and more congested.
Los sistemas actuales no son precisamente económicos, no se diseñaron para trabajar en la vía pública o en parking privados al aire libre. Para su instalación requieren de una infraestructura más o menos compleja. De varios detectores y otros elementos por cada plaza, y de kilómetros de cableado. The current systems are not exactly economical, they were not designed to work on public roads or in private outdoor parking. For their installation they require a more or less complex infrastructure. Of several detectors and other elements for each square, and kilometers of wiring.

Preferentemente se hará por radiofrecuencia preferentemente en DSSS (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) pero también puede realizarse por otros métodos como DSS (Digital Spread Spectrum), FHSS (Frecuency-Hopping Spread Spectrum), bluetooth, wifi y otros métodos que operen en otras frecuencias AM, FM. Si la distancia entre los elementos es relativamente corta la conexión también se puede hacer con un cable de datos. Este interfaz 9 preferentemente de tipo DSSS también se usará para la comunicación entre los localizadores 1 ; un interfaz de comunicación 8 para poder enviar los datos a un servidor y que estos estén accesibles para los usuarios. La conexión será preferentemente por radio del tipo GSM/WCDMA pero también podrá ser GSM/GPRS, 3G, 4G, Ethernet, wifi... an interface 9 to directly activate or operate the lights 2b and other signaling systems 14. Preferably it will be done by radio frequency preferably in DSSS (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) but can also be performed by other methods such as DSS (Digital Spread Spectrum), FHSS ( Frecuency-Hopping Spread Spectrum), bluetooth, wifi and other methods that operate on other AM, FM frequencies. If the distance between the elements is relatively short, the connection can also be made with a data cable. This interface 9 preferably of the DSSS type will also be used for communication between the locators 1; a communication interface 8 to be able to send the data to a server and that these are accessible to users. The connection will preferably be by radio of the GSM / WCDMA type but it can also be GSM / GPRS, 3G, 4G, Ethernet, wifi ...
dos cámaras 6, de igual focal separadas entre sí, que recogerán imágenes cada cierto tiempo de las plazas de aparcamiento 4. Las imágenes serán analizas por una unidad de procesamiento 7 con la intención de discernir qué plazas de aparcamiento 4 se encuentran libres y cuáles no. Preferentemente equipará dos cámaras, de misma focal, separadas entre sí para recoger información tridimensional del entorno. Pero también se podría realizar esta función con: dos cámaras de distinta focal; una cámara plenóptica (Lytro); una cámara Kinetic (Sony), una cámara estándar mas algoritmos Natural 3D (Wooptix); una cámara estándar con un conjunto de lentes o espejos que generen una imagen estereoscópica; un escáner láser o infrarrojo...  two cameras 6, of the same focal length separated from each other, that will collect images from time to time of the parking spaces 4. The images will be analyzed by a processing unit 7 with the intention of discerning which parking spaces 4 are free and which are not . Preferably it will equip two cameras, of the same focal length, separated from each other to collect three-dimensional information of the environment. But this function could also be performed with: two cameras with different focal points; a plenoptic chamber (Lytro); a Kinetic camera (Sony), a standard camera plus Natural 3D algorithms (Wooptix); a standard camera with a set of lenses or mirrors that generate a stereoscopic image; a laser or infrared scanner ...
La unidad de procesamiento 7 analizará las imágenes, y podrá aplicar técnicas estereoscópicas para calcular distancia entre puntos, áreas y volúmenes. Obteniendo una representación tridimensional del aparcamiento y de los objetos que lo ocupan. También podrá aplicar uno o más de los siguientes procedimientos de visión artificial para evitar falsos positivos y poder adaptarnos a distintas situaciones: The processing unit 7 will analyze the images, and may apply stereoscopic techniques to calculate distance between points, areas and volumes. Obtaining a three-dimensional representation of the parking lot and the objects that occupy it. You can also apply one or more of the following artificial vision procedures to avoid false positives and adapt to different situations:
a) por reconocimiento de formas y patrones  a) by recognition of shapes and patterns
b) análisis por cambio de colores,  b) color change analysis,
c) análisis por cambios en la intensidad lumínica  c) analysis for changes in light intensity
d) análisis de borde de línea  d) line edge analysis
e) análisis del histograma  e) histogram analysis
f) análisis de imágenes cuantificadas  f) quantified image analysis
g) comparación por zonas  g) comparison by zones
h) análisis de descriptores LBP (Local Binary Pattern)  h) analysis of LBP (Local Binary Pattern) descriptors
Si la zona de aparcamiento no está dividida en plazas, se pueden aplicar algoritmos estereoscópicos o de visión artificial para calcular las dimensiones de la zona no ocupada y distancia entre objetos. Para ello se puede hacer una captura previa de un patrón de medida, para obtener una correlación real entre la imagen y sus dimensiones físicas. If the parking area is not divided into squares, stereoscopic or artificial vision algorithms can be applied to calculate the dimensions of the unoccupied area and distance between objects. For this you can make a Pre-capture of a measurement pattern, to obtain a real correlation between the image and its physical dimensions.
Preferentemente se analizan imágenes estáticas, pero es frecuente aplicar estas técnicas en videos. Preferably static images are analyzed, but it is common to apply these techniques in videos.
Preferentemente cada localizador dispondrá de su propia unidad de procesamiento 7 y podrá analizar las imágenes obtenidas, pero existe la posibilidad de centralizar el análisis de imágenes, de todas las cámaras, en un único dispositivo, o que estas sean enviadas a una unidad de procesamiento 7 externa y que esta envié una respuesta o se encargue de activar las luces. Existen múltiples configuraciones posibles. Preferably, each locator will have its own processing unit 7 and will be able to analyze the images obtained, but there is the possibility of centralizing the analysis of images, of all cameras, in a single device, or that these are sent to a processing unit 7 external and that is sent a response or is responsible for activating the lights. There are multiple possible configurations.
Cuando la unidad de procesamiento 7 detecte un cambio en el estado de la plaza de aparcamiento, comunicará la información al servidor para que actualice la base de datos, comunicará la información a otras unidades de detección, cambiará el estado de las luces 2 y de los otros dispositivos de señalización 14. When the processing unit 7 detects a change in the state of the parking space, it will communicate the information to the server to update the database, communicate the information to other detection units, change the status of lights 2 and of the other signaling devices 14.
Para aumentar el número de plazas de aparcamiento que puede supervisar cada localizador"! , la cámara 6 irá equipada preferentemente con una lente gran angular, pero también es posible usar una lente de ojo de pez, lente o lamina fresnel, espejos curvos, espejos partidos, u otros elementos que realicen una función similar. También es posible equipar el localizador 1 con varias cámaras para cubrir así más área o direcciones opuestas. To increase the number of parking spaces that each locator can monitor "!, The camera 6 will preferably be equipped with a wide-angle lens, but it is also possible to use a fisheye lens, fresnel lens, curved mirrors, split mirrors , or other elements that perform a similar function.It is also possible to equip the locator 1 with several cameras to cover more area or opposite directions.
Con la intención de mejorar la sensibilidad de la cámara en condiciones de poca luz se puede optar por una cámara de visión nocturna, o incluso añadir un foco de luz infrarroja para mejorar la calidad de la imagen. With the intention of improving the sensitivity of the camera in low light conditions you can opt for a night vision camera, or even add an infrared light source to improve the image quality.
El localizador 1 estará instalado en una posición preferentemente alta: farola, poste, fachada, techo... tal y como se puede apreciar en los ejemplos de instalación que se muestran en las Figuras 1- 9. El localizadorl preferentemente llevará una base de anclaje 3. Habrá varias configuraciones; rectas 3a, en ángulo 3b y con regulación. La idea es que la cámara apunte en la dirección óptima para fotografiar las plazas de aparcamiento, y poder sustituir un localizador por otra unidad sin alterar su posición, facilitando la reparación y mantenimiento de la instalación. The locator 1 will be installed in a preferably high position: lamppost, pole, facade, ceiling ... as can be seen in the installation examples shown in Figures 1-9. The locator will preferably carry an anchor base 3. There will be several configurations; straight 3a, angled 3b and with regulation. The idea is that the camera points in the optimal direction to photograph the parking spaces, and to be able to replace a locator with another unit without altering its position, facilitating the repair and maintenance of the installation.
Es interesante que la luz 2a esté integrada en la carcasa del localizadorl . Y las comunicaciones sean preferentemente por ondas de radio ya que facilita la implantación, pues el único cable necesario es el de la alimentación eléctrica. En instalaciones en farolas como el de la Figuras 1-3, el cable de alimentación puede ir por dentro de la propia farola y tomar la corriente de su base o usar la canaleta de la farola hasta una fuente estable. It is interesting that the light 2a is integrated in the locator housing. And the communications are preferably by radio waves since it facilitates the implementation, because the only necessary cable is that of the power supply. In lamppost installations such as the one in Figures 1-3, the power cord can go inside the lamppost itself and take the current from its base or use the lamppost gutter to a stable source.
En instalaciones de parking subterráneos o en edificios como el de las Figuras 4-6 lo normal será instalar el sistema de detección en medio del pasillo, y es justo ahí donde estará la instalación de luminarias y su canaleta, así que solo habrá que conectar la corriente a la línea de luminarias o usar la canaleta hasta una fuente confiable. In underground parking facilities or in buildings such as those in Figures 4-6, it will be normal to install the detection system in the middle of the corridor, and it is right there where the installation of luminaires and their gutter will be, so you just have to connect the current to the luminaire line or use the gutter to a reliable source.
-Luces y sistemas de señalización -Lights and signaling systems
En el propio localizador 1 o en sus cercanías se instalará una o más luces 2, preferentemente verdes, para informar que en la zona hay una plaza de aparcamiento libre. Y una o más luces 2 preferentemente rojas para informar de que no quedan plazas de aparcamiento disponibles.  One or more lights 2, preferably green, will be installed in locator 1 itself or nearby, to inform that there is a free parking space in the area. And one or more lights 2 preferably red to inform that there are no parking spaces available.
Un localizador 1 puede controlar varias luces o señalizaciones. Por ejemplo, en las Figuras 4-6 cada localizador 1 supervisa seis plazas de aparcamiento y tiene una única luz para las seis plazas. Pero sería posible instalar una luz encima de cada una de las plaza de aparcamiento y que el detector controlase las seis luces. A locator 1 can control several lights or signals. For example, in Figures 4-6 each locator 1 supervises six parking spaces and has a single light for the six seats. But it would be possible to install a light above each of the parking spaces and for the detector to control the six lights.
Se podrá instalar, una luz 2b u otras formas de señalización 14, a la entrada de cada calle o del recinto, para informar a los usuarios del sistema y dar información complementaria. It may be installed, a light 2b or other forms of signaling 14, at the entrance of each street or enclosure, to inform users of the system and provide additional information.
-Servidor Su función es recoger la información enviada por los localizadores 1 y mantener una base de datos actualizada en tiempo real con las plazas de aparcamiento que están libres, junto a su posición gps y otros datos como coste, franja horaria etc .. Físicamente es un ordenador potente con conexión de red. Y su ubicación puede estar a kilómetros de las plazas de aparcamiento. -Server Its function is to collect the information sent by the locators 1 and keep a database updated in real time with the parking spaces that are free, along with its GPS position and other data such as cost, time slot etc. Physically it is a computer Powerful with network connection. And its location can be kilometers from the parking spaces.
La información recogida será accesible a través de internet u otras redes, pudiendo usarse en ordenadores personales, gps, smartphones, otros gadgets... Estos informarán y guiarán a los usuarios hasta la plaza libre más próxima, o la más cercana a su destino, o a una plaza libre que tenga unas características concretas. The information collected will be accessible through the internet or other networks, and can be used on personal computers, gps, smartphones, other gadgets ... These will inform and guide users to the nearest free plaza, or the closest to their destination, or to a free place that has specific characteristics.
El sistema se actualiza en tiempo real, si la plaza destino es ocupada antes de su llegada, re calcula la siguiente más cercana A la hora de elegir la plaza de aparcamiento, el usuario podría definir una serie de preferencia como coste de la plaza, dimensiones de su vehículo, si existe un tiempo máximo o es una zona restringida por tiempo, si es residente, carga y descarga, etc.. The system is updated in real time, if the destination square is occupied before arrival, it re-calculates the next closest one. When choosing the parking space, the user could define a series of preference as cost of the square, dimensions of your vehicle, if there is a maximum time or it is a time-restricted area, if you are a resident, loading and unloading, etc.
En algunas instalaciones de carácter privado no sería imprescindible el servidor. Por ejemplo, en el aparcamiento de una empresa pues las plazas son para el uso exclusivo de sus trabajadores o clientes, con la intención de evitar congestiones y pérdidas de tiempo cuando el parking está completo. In some private installations the server would not be essential. For example, in the parking lot of a company because the spaces are for the exclusive use of its workers or customers, with the intention of avoiding congestion and loss of time when the parking is complete.
