Image Processing Based Real Time Motion Detection System Using GSM and Embedded System

In modern era, the security concerns have grown enormously. The security of restricted areas such as secret offices or buffer zones is of extreme importance. Monitoring such areas rely currently on technology and man power, however automatic monitoring has been advancing in order to avoid potential human errors that can be caused by different reasons. The system presented in this paper detects motion during live video acquisition from a camera interfaced with PC in Matlab. Technique of Consecutive Frame Difference algorithm is applied for detection. Afterwards, filtering is applied and based on a specific threshold, owner is intimated through a text message sent through a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. An alarm system is activated by PIC microcontroller and motor of a hidden door can be closed through a relay interfaced with Microcontroller. An image of that intruder can also be sent to the user's email id through SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) protocol in Matlab. An interactive GUI (Graphical User Interface) is designed for the proposed system. Experimental results showed the superiority of the proposed method as it is faster and advanced as compared to previous ones as it incorporates a large number of features.
