I need a raspberry pi that can monitor parking spots so I know if I have a spot waiting for me when I get off of work. Of course I don't know how to code so it will probably never happen.

edit: I meant parking spaces outside of my apartment.

You at least need a drone with camera for it. You would need to implement some object recognition on the images transmitted by the drone

Wut. The parking spaces are viewable by my apartment window.

Point a camera at the spots when unoccupied.Specify the spots exact coordinates to the camera. Set color as baseline. If the color changes by 50% or more, they are occupied. Send alert when all occupied, or when not all occupied.

Now, learn to code it.

Well I've got the raspberry pi, mjpeg, a camera that works. Just need to make the logic work. Here is what I'm stuck on. http://i.imgur.com/pIy3QNt.jpg

Or just remotely send yourself a photo of your parking lot.
