1. Parking objects detection system using live inventory management, comprising:
a vision sensor present at and configured to produce location-based information content acquired from a detection area of an object parking location that includes multiple parking spots, each of the multiple parking spots defined by a boundary, the vision sensor placed to monitor the object parking location, and the location-based information content including metrics collected from an object detected by the vision sensor and in vicinity of a parking spot that is one of the multiple parking spots;
an object detection agent correlating the vision sensor and the detected object by processing the metrics collected to assign identification attributes to the detected object, the object detection agent implemented to perform vectorization computation and comparison processing; and
a live inventory management agent;
cooperating with the object detection agent to perform, in response to the identification attributes assigned to the detected object, live inventory management of the multiple parking spots in the object parking location, the live inventory management agent including a detection library for objects of interest for use in deciphering identifying characteristics of the detected object,
configured to receive from the vision sensor images of larger regions of the object parking location and cooperate with the object detection agent to continuously compare by vectorization computation and comparison processing the images of larger regions of the object parking location to determine over time a state of the parking spot by delineating empty parking spots as compared to occupied parking spots, the determining of a state of the parking spot in vicinity of the detected object including ascertaining its placement relative to the boundary defining the parking spot while the detected object is stationary, and
configured to lock on to the detected object to compute net movement indicating instances of live ingress and egress of the detected object through the detection area and thereby facilitate recordation of a parking transaction session of the detected object within the object parking location.
