autonomous turret system using background subtraction algorithm

Computer Engineering

Automation is the use of machine, control system which makes the human work easier. There is a clear need of system which can automatically detect the enemy and take the actions as per situation. There are some highly restricted areas where a civilian or any undefined person entry is restricted and at such place if the unknown entry is found then that are considered as severe crime. At such places there is requirement of a human commando whose job is to keep the track of certain area in order to keep the track of the same. But there human cannot be focused all the time as he requires rest. And that problem is recovered with the shifts. In the shift after some time person who is keeping the track is changed this also leads in unfocused work. Another problem is that human in such area have the danger with his life which is also overcome in this system As human seating at remote position could keep the track. The work can be done manually or automatically. This system is an automatic, area protective, anti-personnel sentry turret with integral capability of differentiating friend and enemy. The system proposed prototype uses a standard webcam connected to a notebook computer running custom software in order to detect and track movement sources within the systems field-of-view. This data is used to position a pair of servo motors in order to aim gun at the moving target. The IFF capability is achieved using one independent system. For the targets who are attired in the designated safe color scheme will be allowed to pass unharmed. There is a clear need for such a system in certain military applications, as no similar product is currently available. The only other systems capable of fulfilling the same function are of very limited utility and much more time consuming to set up. Specifically currently available systems are very ineffective indoors and are almost entirely indiscriminate in their operation. Both of these failures are addressed by this system. Current weapon-ed robotic systems are too expensive for use by law enforcement agencies.
