An Optimized and Fast Scheme for Real-Time Human Detection Using Raspberry Pi

Abstract:
Real-time human detection is a challenging task due to appearance variance, occlusion and rapidly changing content; therefore it requires efficient hardware and optimized software. This paper presents a real-time human detection scheme on a Raspberry Pi. An efficient algorithm for human detection is proposed by processing regions of interest (ROI) based upon foreground estimation. Different number of scales have been considered for computing Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) features for the selected ROI. Support vector machine (SVM) is employed for classification of HOG feature vectors into detected and non-detected human regions. Detected human regions are further filtered by analyzing the area of overlapping regions. Considering the limited capabilities of Raspberry Pi, the proposed scheme is evaluated using six different testing schemes on Town Centre and CAVIAR datasets. Out of these six testing schemes, Single Window with two Scales (SW2S) processes 3 frames per second with acceptable less accuracy than the original HOG. The proposed algorithm is about 8 times faster than the original multi-scale HOG and recommended to be used for real-time human detection on a Raspberry Pi.

Design and implementation of reconfigurable virtual instruments using Raspberry Pi core

Abstract:
Virtual Instrument is a combination of hardware and software that allows the emulation of an instrument through a custom virtual console and a graphical user interface. A virtual instrument consists of a PC equipped with powerful application software, cost-effective hardware such as plug-in boards, which together perform the functions of traditional instruments. In a virtual instrument, it is the software which performs the actual process of measurement. Using virtual instruments one can design a customized instrument and automation setup that is user-defined instead of being limited by traditional fixed-function vendor-defined instruments. Virtual instruments are not efficient systems to handle time critical instrument tasks since they are run by a PC operating system which introduced substantial timing errors into the measurement. The Reconfigurable Virtual Instrument (RVI) system can be considered as a general purpose measurement instrument designed with reconfigurable hardware like FPGA connected to PC through a standard port. By designing a high level software application, one can select any specific instrument functionality from a library of instruments. The high level software application configures the RVI system to convert it into the selected instrument(s) with its associated console. By this technique, one can emulate multiple instrument functionalities like function generator, oscilloscope, multimeter, logic analyzer in a single hardware platform. In this paper, hardware realization of RVI is done using FPGA and Raspberry Pi core.

Trans receiving multimedia using Raspberry-Pi

Abstract:
Internet of things (IOT) can be considered as a combination of effective hardware and impressive software which results in smart objects which are able to communicate and interact among themselves. However, data flow accuracy between two movable devices is a growing problem. This paper proposes and implements two approaches: Discrete Cosine Transfer (DCT) and Inter-Process Communication (IPC) for maintaining stable communication. In our proposed approach, we use a movable semi-autonomous robot that travels to remote places in order to transmit and receive the information. The Receiving and transmitting process is handled using an IPC. The IPC is supported by using network layers that provide accurate interaction between multiple objects. DCT helps save bandwidth by compressing the technique when the IPC is initiating the communication process. The DCT involves in compressing the data and converting it into sin and cos signals. Our proposed approaches, DCT and IPC, are implemented using the Python platform. Our proposed approaches deployed on robots could improve accuracy and reduce bandwidth consumption that will help in military and coal mining applications.

Real-time emotion recognition from facial images using Raspberry Pi II

Abstract:
In present day technology human-machine interaction is growing in demand and machine needs to understand human gestures and emotions. If a machine can identify human emotions, it can understand human behavior better, thus improving the task efficiency. Emotions can understand by text, vocal, verbal and facial expressions. Facial expressions play big role in judging emotions of a person. It is found that limited work is done in field of real time emotion recognition using facial images. In this paper, we propose a method for real time emotion recognition from facial image. In the proposed method we use three steps face detection using Haar cascade, features extraction using Active shape Model(ASM), (26 facial points extracted) and Adaboost classifier for classification of five emotions anger, disgust, happiness, neutral and surprise. The novelty of our proposed method lies in the implementation of emotion recognition at real time on Raspberry Pi II and an average accuracy of 94% is achieved at real time. The Raspberry Pi II when mounted on a mobile robot can recognize emotions dynamically in real time under social/service environments where emotion recognition plays a major role.

Road sign recognition system on Raspberry Pi

Abstract:
Digital image processing, i.e. the use of computer systems to process pictures, has applications in many fields, including of medicine, space exploration, geology and oceanography and continues to increase in its applicability. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the ability of image processing algorithms on a small computing platform. Specifically we created a road sign recognition system based on an embedded system that reads and recognizes speed signs. The paper describes the characteristics of speed signs, requirements and difficulties behind implementing a real-time base system with embedded system, and how to deal with numbers using image processing techniques based on shape and dimension analysis. The paper also shows the techniques used for classification and recognition. Color analysis also plays a specifically important role in many other different applications for road sign detection, this paper points to many problems regarding stability of color detection due to daylight conditions, so absence of color model can led a better solution. In this project lightweight techniques were mainly used due to limitation of real- time based application and Raspberry Pi capabilities. Raspberry Pi is the main target for the implementation, as it provides an interface between sensors, database, and image processing results, while also performing functions to manipulate peripheral units (usb dongle, keyboard etc.).

At the distributed alert center, XBee Transceiver and a Raspberry Pi microcomputer are used to generate flood alert based on sensor information and two decade flood data and these data are stored in a database. Sensor information are analyzed by the intelligent neuro-fuzzy controller used in Raspberry Pi microcomputer to announce the flood alerts. The wireless sensor network is connected as mesh topology which can send signals over far distance. The performance evaluation reveals that the proposed system accurately detect flood alert compared to the existing flood alert system.

Device for early diagnosis of Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy

Abstract:
In this paper, a design is proposed of a Pupillometer, which comprises of a spectacle mounted Pi-NoIR Infrared Camera system to detect pupil dilation, constriction and saccades of the eyes of the patient. These parameters are tracked using IR Illuminators mounted on spectacle frame that will be interfaced to a Raspberry Pi 2 Development board. The Raspberry Pi 2 is programmed to map the visual acuity parameters. To achieve constriction and dilation, bright LEDs of White, Red, Green and Blue wavelengths are Turned ON and OFF respectively, at rapid rate, while the tracking is going on. The saccade velocity assessment is done by showing a rapidly moving pattern between 2 points. Thus, by obtaining these ranges for the patient and comparing them with a pre-calibrated diabetes proneness scale, the patient's proneness to diabetes and also an accurate measure of his/her Visual Acuity is obtained. A standard deviation of plus or minus five percent with respect to the database values of normal and diabetic patients is mapped and the proneness to Type 2 Diabetes is evaluated. This paper proposes a preventive diagnostics, cost effective and a prick free standalone modality for early diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes. The Visual Acuity is proportional to the patient's proneness to Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy which is a prime symptom of Type 2 Diabetes.

Intelligent intrusion prevention system for households based on system-on-chip computer

Abstract:
Over the course of the last few decades, security systems have undergone radical overhauls and have transitioned into such sophisticated devices that some even completely shun any form of human interventions. In spite of its tremendous innovations, however, such setups have not yet made their way into homes and residences, partly owing to the fact that the equipment bear high price tags and lack user friendliness. This paper propositions a unique security system for residences that aims to solve the shortcomings of commercial alternatives. Basically, a Raspberry Pi 2 System-on-Chip (SoC) computer equipped with a camera module and placed outside the entrance of a house would attempt to identify would-be visitors by the means of image processing and voice identification. The system would spontaneously greet known faces with a friendly voice greeting and unlock the main door to allow them to enter the home. In case of unknown faces, the system would initiate a video call to the home's owner through a smartphone application and allow the owner to communicate with the unknown visitor. Upon receiving approval from the owner, the visitor's details would be entered into the system and the main door would be unlocked. If the owner denies access, he or she has the option to verbally ask the unknown visitor to leave or in extreme cases, press a button to call the police.

Smart street light system based on image processing

Abstract:
This article presents streetlight system, the concept to boost energy efficiency of a city. Nowadays, people are too busy, and unable to find time even to switch OFF the lights whenever not required. The system works like, the street lights are changed to ON state in the evening before the sun sets and they are switched OFF next day morning after there is enough light on the roads. This paper gives the best solution for reducing the energy consumption. This system detect vehicle movement/human presence on highways to switch ON only a chunk of street lights ahead of it and to switch OFF the trailing lights in order to reduce consumption of energy. This is achieved by processing the image of approaching object and then sending control message to the street light block. Additional attractive features of the system using suitable sensors for detecting the failed street light and then sending an SMS to the control authority via GSM modem for appropriate action are also included.

Development of IoT based smart security and monitoring devices for agriculture

Agriculture sector being the backbone of the Indian economy deserves security. Security not in terms of resources only but also agricultural products needs security and protection at very initial stage, like protection from attacks of rodents or insects, in fields or grain stores. Such challenges should also be taken into consideration. Security systems which are being used now a days are not smart enough to provide real time notification after sensing the problem. The integration of traditional methodology with latest technologies as Internet of Things and Wireless Sensor Networks can lead to agricultural modernization. Keeping this scenario in our mind we have designed, tested and analyzed an 'Internet of Things' based device which is capable of analyzing the sensed information and then transmitting it to the user. This device can be controlled and monitored from remote location and it can be implemented in agricultural fields, grain stores and cold stores for security purpose. This paper is oriented to accentuate the methods to solve such problems like identification of rodents, threats to crops and delivering real time notification based on information analysis and processing without human intervention. In this device, mentioned sensors and electronic devices are integrated using Python scripts. Based on attempted test cases, we were able to achieve success in 84.8% test cases.

Multi-functional secured smart home

Abstract:
Enhancing the home security by remote control means is a cutting-edge research area in the domain of Internet of Things (IoT's). The necessity of security is increasing these days, ranging from thefts, burglary, accidents, LPG gas leakage and fire detection etc, which all are important aspects of a Home Security System. In this paper, a prototype Multi-Functional Secured Smart Home (SSH) model is developed. Generally a home security system uses signals in terms of alarm of intruder detection. However, the proposed Multi-Functional Secured Smart Home uses a mobile communication (GSM) based Home Security System, which helps to provide a better security to have systems that can be globally connected. In the proposed system a text message is sent, whenever an event from any sensor is detected, so that immediate actions could be taken by the home owner. The proposed SSH sends SMS using GSM-Module and mail through Raspberry Pi micro-controller. The prototype SSH based smart system also uses an Arduino micro-controller board for commands processing and control. The system uses GSM technology, which provides global access to the Smart Home Security System. The prototype SSH, developed at a low cost, can be used for converting existing homes into smart homes at relatively affordable cost and with convenience. The performance testing results of the prototype SSH are encouraging.

An affordable cuff-less blood pressure estimation solution

Abstract:
This paper presents a cuff-less hypertension pre-screening device that non-invasively monitors the Blood Pressure (BP) and Heart Rate (HR) continuously. The proposed device simultaneously records two clinically significant and highly correlated biomedical signals, viz., Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Photoplethysmogram (PPG). The device provides a common data acquisition platform that can interface with PC/laptop, Smart phone/tablet and Raspberry-pi etc. The hardware stores and processes the recorded ECG and PPG in order to extract the real-time BP and HR using kernel regression approach. The BP and HR estimation error is measured in terms of normalized mean square error, Error Standard Deviation (ESD) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE), with respect to a clinically proven digital BP monitor (OMRON HBP1300). The computed error falls under the maximum standard allowable error mentioned by Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation; MAE <; 5 mmHg and ESD <; 8mmHg. The results are validated using two-tailed dependent sample t-test also. The proposed device is a portable low-cost home and clinic bases solution for continuous health monitoring.

Real-time nonintrusive monitoring and detection of eye blinking in view of accident prevention

Abstract:
Driver fatigue is the major cause of accidents in the world. Detecting the drowsiness of the driver is the surest ways of measuring the driver fatigue. The purpose of this paper is to develop a drowsiness detection system. This system works by analyzing the eye movement of the driver and alerting the driver by activating the buzzer when he/she is drowsy. The system so implemented is a nonintrusive real-time monitoring system for eye detection. During monitoring, the system is able to decide whether the eyes were opened or closed. When the eyes were detected closed for too long, a signal was issued to warn the driver. In addition, the system also have an option for making vibration when drowsiness was detected. The aim is on improving the safety of the driver without being obtrusive. Visual cues were obtained through eye blink rate by using a camera, which typically characterize the level of alertness of a person. These were extracted in real-time and systematically joined to check the fatigue level of the driver. The system can monitor the driver's eyes to detect short periods of sleep lasting 3 to 4 seconds. The system implemented in this approach runs at 8-15 frames per second. The application was implemented using Open CV in Raspberry Pi environment with a single camera view. This system was used to detect the drowsiness of the driver and thereby reducing the road accidents.
