Animal Movement Detection along with Differentiation and Alert Processing in Farm Lands

Abstract

Every life on land depends on food for living. The source of major availability of food is agriculture. Farmers and agricultural lands are exposed to lot more difficulties currently. One among them is intruders in farm fields. Animal intruders cause a tremendous amount of destruction to crops on field. The proposed system helps in detecting large animal movements using frame differentiation in OpenCV. Motion detection algorithm helps in detecting the movements of animals. OpenCV deals with computer vision operations. Frame differentiation is used to fetch differences between still and movable frames. Working on with Movidius Neural compute stick connected to raspberry Pi which used to fetch the category of animal approaching using image classifier and corresponding actions could be taken on time. Once motion is detected and alert sound is generated and hence the owners could be made aware of happenings. Movidius stick is used to learn artificial intelligence at the edge. Other applications involve, motion detection in military boundaries.
