The invention relates to a video-based
airplane entry-departure
parking lot automatic detection method. A
video image of a monitoring area covering an
airplane shutdown
parking lot area is obtained, a motion object is identified and tracked, characteristic points of an image in a detection area are extracted and tracked in a matching manner, when the number of characteristic points meeting
airplane entry or departure direction requirements in a certain number of continuous frames of the
video image accords with a required quantity, a judgment about official entry or departure is further made, and when displacement of a
characteristic point set is smaller than certain pixels and the motion object does not enter but continuously departs from an airplane shutdown
parking lot area, it is determined that an airplane officially parks in place; and when the displacement of the
characteristic point set is smaller than or equal to certain pixels and the motion object does not depart from but continuously enters the airplane shutdown parking lot area, it is determined that the airplane officially departs, wherein the detection area is a set are opposite to the airplane shutdown parking lot area on the
video image. The method provided by the invention can realize round-the-
clock intelligent detection of accurate
arrival time of airplane flight and is quite high in detection accuracy.
