Welcome to the AI-Powered Vehicle Parking Management System with YOLOv11 VisDrone and Flask course! 

In this hands-on course, you will learn how to build a real-time vehicle parking occupancy management system using the powerful YOLOv11 VisDrone model and a Flask-based web framework for live tracking and visualization.

This course focuses on leveraging the pre-trained YOLOv11 VisDrone model to detect and track vehicles in a parking area, enabling efficient parking space management. 

By the end of this course, you will have developed an AI-powered parking system that provides real-time insights into parking space occupancy, all accessible through a simple web interface.

● Set up the Python development environment and install essential libraries like OpenCV, Flask, YOLOv11 VisDrone, and NumPy for building your vehicle tracking system.

● Use pre-trained YOLOv11 VisDrone models to detect and track vehicles in a parking lot or garage, counting available and occupied parking spaces with high accuracy.

● Preprocess video streams for optimal object detection, applying YOLOv11 for real-time vehicle detection and tracking.

● Design and implement a Flask-based web application to visualize live parking data, displaying the current status of parking spaces (occupied vs. available) on an easy-to-use dashboard.

● Explore techniques to improve detection accuracy, including handling challenges like vehicle occlusion, overlapping vehicles, and varying lighting conditions.

● Optimize the system for real-time performance, ensuring fast and efficient processing of live video streams.

● Handle real-world challenges such as changing camera angles, crowded parking environments, and variable weather conditions for robust vehicle tracking.

By the end of this course, you will have built a fully functional vehicle parking management system that tracks parking space occupancy in real-time, visualized through a Flask web interface. 

This project is ideal for applications in smart city parking, shopping malls, airport garages, event venues, and private parking lots, where real-time space monitoring and efficient space utilization are critical.

This course is designed for beginners and intermediate learners who are interested in developing AI-powered applications. No prior experience with Flask or YOLO models is required, as we will guide you step-by-step to create a simple yet powerful web application. 

You'll gain hands-on experience with computer vision, real-time object detection, and Flask web development, empowering you to build AI-based parking management solutions.
