Abstract
Barrier coverage is the detection of intruders when they penetrate a protected area. It can be described as a belt region that has a sensor deployed over it. This research project investigates the implementation of object movement tracking using a Pixy camera and an Arduino Uno board. The Pixy camera, equipped with a powerful vision system, enables the detection and tracking of objects. Alongside with an Arduino Uno board, the system offers a compact and efficient platform for processing visual data and controlling actuators in response to detected objects. We propose the integration of a local network environment to enhance the functionality of the object tracking system. The local network enables the transmission of data to the Pixy camera system, allowing for collaborative object tracking and obstacle detection. Our system aims to provide a comprehensive solution for monitoring object movement, detecting obstacles, and analyzing interaction patterns in dynamic environments. The integration of these technologies holds promise for applications in various fields, including robotics, surveillance, and human-computer interaction. For future projects, we hope to extend into a network module to allow monitoring of an extended area.
