Matlab Based Unmanned Gun Control Mechanism

ABSTRACT
From ages it has been a desire of humans to achieve the ultimate in security and make his loved ones and loved things secure. It is this desire that prompted him to make the boundaries and secure them too from all unseen and unknown sources. For this it has been always necessary to maintain a huge sum of people to guard and raise alarms incases of emergencies.
Going a step forward it is also required to safeguard the people who are guarding our boundaries and we need to take care of the issues that are faced by them. During the last Kargil war it was observed that the Pakistani military had occupied the India’s vacated positions during winters in violation of the Simla Agreement. Every winter the military forces of both the countries (India and Pakistan) vacate their positions in the Siachen and then re-occupy it when the snow melts as it becomes very difficult to survive in the cold. But for the first time in 52 years ‘India Vacated Land’ was occupied by Pakistan military on Pakistan’s, then, Prime Minister Musharraf's orders.
Taking a clue from this we proposed to set up an automatic weaponry mechanism which will be able to track the movements in a uni-colour environment (like snow, white in colour) and fire upon incase it detects a specific colour (Uniform).
To accomplish this we propose a mechanism which will employ image processing in which a camera (webcam) will be continuously observing the ‘area under surveillance’. This data will be then processed by a MatLab code which will be running on a PC and will be able to detect a particular colour (Say Red) in front of a white back ground (depicting snow).
Depending on this processed data the information about the intruder location will be sent to a micro-controller (89c51) via the Serial/Parallel port of the PC and then a motor controlled gun will be used to point in the direction of the intruder. This mechanism will be online i.e. the gun will continuously be pointing in the direction of the intruder. Further depending on range (distance from the gun) (fixed range in this project) the gun can be activated and a Laser pointer will be switched ON to depict ‘shooting the target’.
