Automated Way of Vehicle Theft Detection in Parking Facilities

Security of parked cars against theft is a long existing concern. We present an automated way of detecting vehicle theft as it happens using moving object detection and barcode scanning for each parking entry. The detected edges of the output should give a clear image of the moving object from the video. The security personnel or the parking lot operator gets notified about the movement.
