Home Automation Using Image Processing

Abstract

Today, many of the automation systems deployed are mostly controlled by humans. This control by humans restricts the automation of home appliances to an extent. Also, most of the deployed home automation systems use the Internet of Things technology to control the appliances. In this we propose a system developed using action recognition to fully automate the home appliances. We recognize the three actions of a person (sitting, standing and lying) along with the recognition of an empty room. With this system, we remove the human intervention in home automation systems for controlling the home appliances and at the same time we ensure the data privacy and reduce the energy consumption by efficiently and optimally using home appliances and also it has a security mode. In the security mode if any human is detected it captures the image of the person detected and shares the picture to responsible person,the picture shared will be refreshes with every one minute and also it uploads the captured image in local IP address provided to it. through the local IP no. of persons can see the image captured.
