Surveillance Robot with Face Recognition using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

International border security has become a very challenging task for any country. It is not always possible for border security forces to monitor long borders round the clock and in all seasons. Deployment of technology in the form a robot for intruder detection at the border and transmission of information to the control center is imperative in the geopolitical situation of the world. Many of the high risk jobs in a hostile environment are best performed by a robot while it can be dangerous for soldiers. The proposed work aims to develop an automatic solution to detect the presence of an enemy or any hostile events such as fire/gas leakage in targeted places without loss of human life. It consists of a robotic vehicle for spying the pre-allocated area by continuously monitoring it. Whenever a sensor gets activated, the surveillance system checks for the presence of humans and then runs a face recognition algorithm.
