LITE : Light-based Intrusion deTection systEm Using an Optical-Camera and a Single Board Computer

This demonstration shows the working of an opticalcamera-based system designed to distinguish between human and animal intrusion while rejecting clutter arising from wind-blown vegetation in an outdoor environment. The aim of the research was to use optical-camera system as a complementary sensing modality to a PIR sensor-based intrusion detection system. There are three important features to demonstrate: (a) the optical-camera based intrusion classification system using a Single Board Computer (SBC), (b) the algorithm which exploits the spatial resolution capability to help in classification, and (c) real-time demo of the visualization of features calculated and classification decisions.
