VISION BASED BORDER SECURITY SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC FIRING UNIT

This paper presents an effective method for border security. The system explained in this paper contains several image processing techniques for intruder detection and finally a firing unit. This can be used for the surveillance of borders, either of a country, or areas requiring high security, especially in regions of extreme climatic conditions, where it is difficult to deploy personnel. This system is provided with automatic firing mechanisms which can be used to automatically locate and fire the target. System has two modes of working-Automatic mode and Manual mode. In Manual mode firing occurs after the confirmation of authoritative personnel while in automatic mode firing occurs automatically. Thus only a few personnel can monitor several kilometers of border. In addition PIR sensors are added so that firing at innocent animals can be avoided. INDEX TERMS—Image processing, morphological operations, time domain filtering, object detection. I
