I reckon a bit of image recognition would be interesting. If it's a
space outside your own house, you could put the camera in an upstairs
window looking down at the road, mark an area in its image memory that
corresponds to your parking space so that the system can work out the
approx. length of the free space available, if any. It can bung the
results on a webpage and you can have a look at that as you approach to
see if your own space is available.

Also worth adding some more image recognition to the system so it can
tell you if there's some gammon faced bod who can't read and has had a
triple sense of humour bypass hanging about looking for the inflatable
bollards.
