weapon detection system
Project Area of Specialization Computer ScienceProject SummaryThis project explains the execution of a weapon detection system.Due to the increase theft and criminal activities which gradually effects the economy and well being of our society and human life.This system needs to detect weapons concealed under clothing or any material.This system is designed using a MMW camera and image processing.This system is designed to work in real time environment.
Project Objectives- The main goal is to reduce the crime activities openly
- to help reduce illegal possession of firearm
- and to reduce human casualty risk by discarding manual search of hidden weapon under clothing
- Methodology:
The methodology is classified into 5 parts as below:
Phase-1
Hardware Implementation
Milimeter Wave Camera MMW
Proximity Sensor
Tablet
Sound Alarm
Raspberry pi 4
LCD Display
System for Processing
Circuit
Phase-II
Software Implementation
Python 3 Compiler
Open CV library
Raspberry OS
Android (Application for Management)
Phase-III
1.Full-Body Scan
The MMW camera will first scan the human in the booth the camera should support above average resolution to make it more efficient.
2.Image Processing
The System will then use the passive mmw method to detect the weapon radiation and identify the person as a criminal hiding a weapon,Once the scan is positive it will lock the entrance door keeping the criminal inside.
3.System Call
A alert and alarm will be generated to the nearest security dept for assistance and will be display the live footage of the booth to the display LCD screen for keeping eye on the criminal.
4.Safe Case
If there is no weapon the indoor entrance will unlock letting the person in the shop.
5.Secuirty Assistance
The raspberry pi will act as a portable system for generating alert for security dept,and the main system will handle image processing and door lock mechanism.
Phase-1V
Python programming
We will be using python programong using python 3 compiler as it is more object oriented and predefined syntax.It is more easier to maintain it hence cost is reduced.
Java will be used for the android app for the management purpose on the tablet using NDK development kits.
Phase-V
Completion
Upon successfully implementing above phases and testing we will then have our final project for detecting weapons hidden underneath clothing and to prevent crimes.
Benefits of the Project- The feeling of safety can be created while in an airport, college, office building, or any other area where these detectors are being used. People that are using them can control who enters a specific area and what he/she brings inside it..
- Futhermore, walk though models are more convenient and more efficient. Ultimately, using both the walk through metal detector and the hand scanner will give you the best security.
- Being able to easily detect weapons will gradually increase security efficiency.
The project is initially using some of the hardware and comunicate using Raspberry Pi 3. The embedded software in Raspberry Pi will itself fetch/recieve data from camera sensors using an Arduino. The Arduino Uno will run the image processing through realtime basis hence all this can be managed on a tablet or displayed even.The embedded software system on the Raspberry Pi has the following interfaces:
- Camera input using a built-in library in Raspbian OS.
- Image processing output to the raspberry pi.
- Dynamic target input using built-in raspberry pi libraries.
