If I understand correctly, you are planning to use laptop in place of Raspberry pi ( parking device ). Technically it's possible if you have Open CV for python installed. But the parking device code has dependency on some GPIO functions, you need to tweak you program accordingly.

Hey thanks for the reply . I realized that i might have explained it in a wrong way. I was looking into the possibility of doing a IOTA transaction , not based on license plate recognition but based on GPS co ordinates and geolocation. For example the charger is sending GPS data with x,y co ordinates to cloud . The car is also sending gps data to cloud. Once the GPS data of charger (x1,y1) and GPS data of car (x2,y2) are same , a transaction can be done ? For simplicity sake , we can use two smartphones one fixed for charger and one mounted on the car to get the GPS location ? Is it possible to extend it in that manner ?
