SENSITIVE AREA SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM USING LABVIEW AND MYRIO KIT In

Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop image processing algorithms for the purpose of object detection in real-time and pointing laser to it using toy laser gun attached with servo mechanism. This report explores different techniques for implementing object detection algorithm and pointing laser to identified object. The project is divided into three stages: object detection, coordinates extraction and pointing laser to object that will be studied and discussed. Finally the algorithms will be implemented to the myRIO embedded device using the software called LABVIEW. This report provides a concise description of the project, further in the report we will tell how we went about accomplishing the task of the project. In the abstract we will briefly describe the data flow here: • USB Camera is used to acquire video and display it on LABVIEW GUIin laptop on which image processing techniques are applied in real-time. • Co-ordinates of detected object are extracted and sent to myRIO embedded device wirelessly to adjust toy laser gun mechanism to point the object. • NI LABVIEW software is used to interface the NI myRIO with the computer. • Wireless transmission of data is done between the myRIO embedded device and the computer. • Graphical user interface on LABVIEW is used to display the live video and the coordinates of respective detected object. This system is designed for military purpose to make surveillance fully automated. Recommendations for future development and conclusions are also included in the report.
