Nowadays, peoples are facing problem to find an available parking space in parking lot due to the tremendous increase of occupancy of cars. When driver enters a certain parking lot, the driver takes along time just to find an available parking space. A Counting Available Parking Space using Image Processing (CAPSuIP) has been developed to solve the problem that driver faced with low cost. CAPSuIP use image processing to detect of existence of the car and also provide information such as number of available parking space and the location of that parking. The system captures image using surveillance camera and process the image to counting available parking space. The system use a modified Software D&velopment Life Cycle (SDLC) to plan, analyze, design, development and testing. Techniques of image processing have been embedded in each phase of methodology. This system gives information about the location of available parking space and the number of available parking space. It will be benefit to all drivers when enter a parking lot.
