Face detection for efficient video-surveillance IoT based embedded system

Video Surveillance systems are widely used in indoor and outdoor environments for prevention and security monitoring. Most of conventional video surveillance systems are designed to store huge amount of data which difficult efficient access to the data from remote locations due to bandwidth requirements. A smart surveillance system allows efficient data storage and flexible data access. In this document the design and development of an embedded system for intelligent video surveillance with IoT capabilities is presented. For this project, an OMRON biometric sensor with specific features for face, body and hand detection was used. Face detection provides a criterion for event detection and efficient data capture of the data. The information of interest can be retrieved from a smartphone through Telegram X app. The system was tested under different face conditions including variations of pose, partial occlusion and expression. The system was developed with specific and smart devices providing new and different designs, easily to connect and control for users, without forgetting the importance of security.
