DINO + Blender synthetic data powers occlusion-proof parking spot detection
Roger_M_Taylor · x · 2026-09-19
Developer FitProfessional built an automated parking-lot monitoring system using the DINO vision model trained on synthetic data generated in Blender.
The key trick: even when a car is hidden behind other vehicles, the system infers occupancy from contextual cues like shadows and road surface, and the design works with real-world surveillance cameras.
