Automated Gun Security System

The aim of this work is to design the automated security system in order to detect, track and destroy the target for surveillance operations. The system can be operated in two modes, in which the target can be tracked automatically by using microcontroller based system. On other hand, the system can also be controlled manually in which the user has right to select the target and performs shooting if necessary. The image processing algorithms are implemented in Matlab. The process starts by processing the video signal on computer by using the video camera, then the target is selected which can be tracked further by using different image processing techniques. After the selection of target, the micro-controller unit takes the decision to shoot any unauthorized person or activity within its range. The gun is mounted on a tripod stand and its movement is controlled by using the stepper motor. Once the target is selected it can be tracked by moving the camera and gun.
