If you are worried that miscreants might break into your office when you are away and want to keep track, students of Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE) have developed a perfect system to monitor and keep tab on intrusions.
Students - Mohamed Faras, Adarsh Singh M, Parvathy Thilak and Pooja N Babu - have developed Tri-Vision, a system to monitor and detect uninvited visitors. It also notifies authorised personnel by either SMS, email or a GPRS link about the detection.
The system was developed at Central Food and Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) under the guidance of CFTRI scientist Anil Kumar P and head of computer science department at SJCE, Prof C N Ravikumar.
Tri-Vision aims to detect hazards of any kind including manned, unmanned and even the slightest of changes in temperature.
The system processes the temperature reading and images, which are received by temperatures sensors and surveillance cameras fixed in any closed room environment.
In case of any unauthorised entry into the room, then it sends SMS, email and GPRS
link comprising of images captured in the surveillance cameras to authorised personnel.
With password protection being incorporated into the system, users can install Tri-Vision in places such as server rooms, storage rooms, lockers, radioactive material storage centres, offices and research centres.
In case of areas, where control of temperature is required, the system provides an alert indicating the increase or decrease from the set-level instantly through SMS.
The students believe that Tri-Vision can also be enhanced to also identify the type of hazard.
They believe that image analysis can identify type of hazard such as fire, smoke or manual intrusion based on images captured on the surveillance cameras, without human intervention.
Applications
Tri-Vision can be used in...
* Computer centre server rooms.
* Storage rooms.
* Chemical reaction plants.
* Bank lockers.
* Temperature monitoring in a chemical reactor.
* Radiation leakage in radioactive material storage centres and nuclear
reactor rooms.
* Museums, offices and palaces, even houses during non-working hours.
