Smart Parking Space Detection with Generative Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models. The increasing relevance of generative AI and large language models is reshaping various sectors of modern society. These advancements have spurred notable progress in fields such as healthcare, finance, and education. Yet, the application of AI extends beyond expert domains, offering simplified solutions to everyday tasks for the general populace. This project harnesses the power of generative artificial intelligence and large language models to develop a practical application: smart parking space detection. By leveraging these technologies, individuals can effortlessly ascertain the availability of parking spots in monitored lots via camera or photographic monitoring, facilitated by a straightforward algorithm. The overarching objective is twofold: to engineer a user-friendly system utilizing generative AI principles and to demonstrate the potential for such technologies to enhance the daily experiences of ordinary individuals.
