Video Based Drowning Detection System

At present, there are swimming pools in every part of the world. Most of the swimming pool accidents or incidents occur due to improper security. Therefore, Accidental deaths in swimming pools are actually increasing. So, Video based drowning detection system is designed in this article. The proposed system structure comprises raspberry pi (Single Board Computer) equipped with a USB camera for taking the live feed from the pool area. The system also covers the alerting phenomena using a buzzer so that necessary actions are taken intermittently without any delay. The working structure starts from the raspberry pi with image processing for video feed intake, deep learning for activity recognition and finally GPIO system for alerting and short message service.
