In the intelligent parking space management system， a decrease in accuracy and effectiveness of parking space prediction can be caused by factors such as illumination changes and parking space occlusion. To overcome this problem， a parking space detection method based on self-supervised learning HOG （Histogram of Oriented Gradient） prediction auxiliary task was proposed. Firstly， a self-supervised learning auxiliary task to predict the HOG feature in occluded part of image was designed， the visual representation of the image was learned more fully and the feature extraction ability of the model was improved by using the MobileViTBlock （light-weight， general-purpose， and Mobile-friendly Vision Transformer Block） to synthesize the global information of the image. Then， an improvement was made to the SE （Squeeze-and-Excitation） attention mechanism， thereby enabling the model to achieve or even exceed the effect of the original SE attention mechanism at a lower computational cost. Finally， the feature extraction part trained by the auxiliary task was applied to the downstream classification task for parking space status prediction. Experiments were carried out on the mixed dataset of PKLot and CNRPark. The experimental results show that the proposed model has the accuracy reached 97.49% on the test set； compared to RepVGG， the accuracy of occlusion prediction improves by 5.46 percentage points， which represents a great improvement compared with other parking space detection algorithms.
