YOLO on a unconnected (no wifi) ESP32CAM to detect intruders against a fixed background.
There will be a moving object that must be 'learned' by the system to be ignored.
The system switches an alarm relay when an un-recognised object comes into view.
The project is to produce a proof of concept for gate safety.
It will suit a person who has done home automation projects.
The target application is a fixed camera viewing a driveway. The camera detects the person or other objects (fixed or moving), but not fixed or moving objects that have been learned.
The user will press the learn button, then operate the gate. The ESP will capture a frame every 100ms, convert to gray scale, store as part of the object training model. When the gate is fully open, the last image is taken as the fixed background image.
I will use Arduino platform to progress the project.
