Border Security using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

Border Security is one of the major concerns for any country. Issues like political and economic instability in neighboring countries and border distribution demand a good border management and security system. The terrorist attacks that have been taking place over several years have increased the need of an improvised and high level security system. Hence, border infiltration monitoring and prevention is a system built to provide security at the borders. The device is based on the concepts of image capturing, cloud, and wireless data communication. Image processing concepts of noise removal, RGB to gray conversion, background subtraction and histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) are used to detect intrusion. Cloud is used to store the images of the intruder and retrieval at a farther place. Wireless data communication is used to send alert messages from the primary base station to the secondary base station. Further reactions are taken by handling manual robot for fire focusing to the enemy object by targeting and shooting and moving the robot towards enemy with robot detecting metals along its path for safety checking of any bomb present along its way.
