"Intelligent alarm system based on image processing"


Description:

A WebCam connected to the USB port of a PC will view a defined area as presented in the picture above.

The system will be controlled by a PIC based entry module designed and built by each team. During the contest the control of the system will be exclusively via this module.

Alarm system should have two levels of alarm: warning alarm (level 1 alarm) and normal alarm (level 2 alarm).
Stage 1:
  1. Small object (~1 cm diameter) provided by organizers is placed on the table. System should detect and indicate motion (alarm level 1 should turn on).
  2. Larger object (~5 cm diameter) provided by organizers is placed on the table. System should detect and indicate motion (alarm level 2 should turn on).
Stage 2: Member of team disables alarm, enters protected area, places an object of their choice (with dimensions not greater than 25 cm) on the table and resets the alarm.
Stage 3: Attempt by a person from opposing team to enter area from the side and remove the object. The level 1 alarm should turn on while the person enters protected area and alarm level 2 should sound when person touches or tries to remove an object.

System should ignore small objects (about 1 cm diameter).

The person is not allowed to use any tools except their hands including any type of light sources to saturate web cam.
Stage 4: Repeat Stage 3, but with a number of people beyond the buffer zone but in front of the camera.
