Smart Mirror Using Raspberry Pi for Intrusion Detection and Human Monitoring

Abstract

The Smart Mirror is a system in which the normal mirror is converted to behave like a smart device. Proposed Smart mirror is designed using Raspberry Pi 3 model and by using a touch-enabled screen. The designed system is capable of acting like a regular mirror in case of normal mode of operation, and it acts like a smart mirror in a triggered mode of operation. The Smart mirror thus designed is an interactive system which is capable of operating in three modes. The system can be operated interactively by accepting one of the type of “command mode,” namely voice-based commands, touch- and mobile-based controls. The system is designed to display weather, temperature and latest news on the mirror. The system is primarily designed for the purpose of Human Monitoring and also intrusion detection system. The proposed design is thought of a bundle of package, which not only just displays information over screen, but also can be used for providing security. The system is built using hardware units like Raspberry Pi 3 model, microphone, touch screen, mobile device, camera and passive infrared sensor (PIR) sensors and programming with Python. The intrusion detection is done using simple frame difference approach, and Human Monitoring is implemented using Yolo machine learning technique with OpenCV.
