Abstract

This research aims to design and implement a home security system with human detection capability. Traditional home security systems, i.e., Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) can only capture and record videos without the ability of giving warning feedback if there is any suspicious object. Therefore, an additional object detection and warning method is required. The proposed design is implemented using Raspberry Pi 3 and Arduino, that is connected by USB cable. The PIR sensor is installed on Arduino and webcam is mounted on Raspberry Pi 3. The Raspberry Pi 3 is used to process inputs from sensors and process images for human detection. PIR sensor detects the movement around the sensor to activate the webcam to capture a picture. Then, the object recognition is performed using Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) to detect the suspicious object.
