We here propose a novel method for detecting and locating the human presence for controlling the power appliances in the subjected area. At the heart of our Endeavour, we use an over-head camera to capture the scene inside the concerned arena. From the scene we sample frames and process them to detect silhouette of objects. We then use a codebook for instance as a reference to filter out human outline(s) to detect human. Their location in the room is traced using disparity calculation and subsequent depth extraction. Once the location has been estimated, the corresponding appliances can be operated accordingly for service. A controller interfacing can be provided to achieve the above. This is done using the serial communication technique with RS 232. Presence of max 232 IC guides the above. The serial communication is performed by specifying the port and baud rate of use and burning the needed code to perform the task.

Abstract


We here propose a novel method for detecting and locating the human presence for controlling the power appliances in the subjected area. At the heart of our Endeavour, we use an over-head camera to capture the scene inside the concerned arena. From the scene we sample frames and process them to detect silhouette of objects. We then use a codebook for instance as a reference to filter out human outline(s) to detect human. Their location in the room is traced using disparity calculation and subsequent depth extraction. Once the location has been estimated, the corresponding appliances can be operated accordingly for service. A controller interfacing can be provided to achieve the above. This is done using the serial communication technique with RS 232. Presence of max 232 IC guides the above. The serial communication is performed by specifying the port and baud rate of use and burning the needed code to perform the task.
