Sensor Web for Public Safety

The purpose of this project is to introduce a sensor web based application for public safety. We have heard of many incidents of stampedes and fire accidents taking place that result in a huge death toll. So it is becoming essential to find a viable solution to these incidents. This project aims at solving this problem by estimating the capacity of a room or a large open area. Object Detection Sensors are used detect the movement of people in and out of the site. This data is then sent to a remote server where some calculations take place and the exact count of people present in the room is determined. This value is then compared with the threshold value and if exceeded, a notification is sent to the authorities present at the site who can then take required action.
