Detecting Weapons to Inform Concerned Authority about Criminal Activity Based on Computer Vision

Abstract

This report book is intended to clarify the whole perspective of the project titled to provide a clear view of the whole aspect of the project that we have gone through. Computer vision is said to be the eyes of computers. Many have a keen interest in this field. In this Computer vision-based project, we have managed to detect weapons of two types (Different guns and knives) to inform the concerned authority of property about crimes. When a property is under such criminal activity that the criminals carry guns or knives with them, then the system will detect those weapons via a camera integrated module and run the necessary functions accordingly. After detecting weapons, the system immediately informs the concerned authority of the property to alert them about the upcoming risk to their property via mobile SMS message and call. Thus, the authority will be alert about the upcoming risk and can take possible measures to handle the situation. Apart from that, the system is capable of making sound alarm within the place of crime so that the common people outside of the property may come forward to help. We can use this project in any property like banks, offices, homes, or anywhere to protect our valuable properties from being theft or robbed.
