The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation – Jeff Hawkins
A manual system already exists that verifies the authorized vehicles to maintain security at the entrance. But nowadays, everything is shifting towards automation where no human effort is required. Our computer vision team along with Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineers developed Autonomous Gatekeeper. It is an automatic vehicle number plate detector and recognizer over a robot. It is designed to handle the verification of vehicles to meet the security needs by opening and closing the gate. It accepts or rejects the detected number plates and performs the corresponding actions accordingly. Autonomous Gatekeeper can also be used as a surveillance robot.
This robot is developed by using Python 2.7.6 technology, OpenCV 2.4.10 library and IDLE (Integrated Development Environment for Python) language. Following hardwares are integrated in it:
Arduino
Arduino Ethernet Shield
Sabertooth Motor Driver
Wifi Router
IP Camera
Automatic gate
How this Robot works?
As this robot holds registered number plates and moves to gate to detect the number plates, it differentiates between authorized and unauthorized ones. Whenever a Car arrives at gate, Arduino commands Sabertooth to move robot to gate so Autonomous Gatekeeper move towards the gate, opens it a little and goes out. It then checks for vehicle’s number plate authorization.
Number is sent to server for verification through Wifi module. Verification result is then sent to Arduino by sever via WiFi module and Ethernet Shield. If it is authorized, Autonomous Gatekeeper moves back to its position while opening the gate automatically for letting the car get in.
After car entry, it closes the gate as well. But what if the car is not authorized? Of course Gatekeeper moves back while closing the door. It won’t let the unauthorized car to get inside.
Conclusion:
A solution that fulfills the security concerns by minimizing interaction of human resource. With the implementation over a robot, security and privacy concerns could be met in a more sophisticated and intelligent manner. A place where more accuracy is preferred, autonomous gatekeeper is a complete solution to open the gate for recognized vehicles without human effort.
One of the essential skills every Python programmer should have is the ability to run Python scripts in a terminal. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover various ways to run Python scripts in a terminal and explore different scenarios, including running Python on Windows and executing Python scripts in Linux. Let’s learn more about how
Routers play a pivotal role in segmenting and managing traffic. They are the guardians of data flow, separating and directing it to its intended destination. A fundamental concept in networking is the creation of broadcast domains, which are distinct areas within a network where broadcast traffic is contained. In this blog, we will explore how
Having a dual monitor setup can significantly enhance your productivity, allowing you to multitask efficiently and work on multiple tasks simultaneously. However, encountering the issue of both monitors displaying the same content can be frustrating and hinder your ability to take full advantage of the dual monitor setup. In this blog post, we will explore
