Abstract:

In the area of home security and protection, vision-based home automation systems (HAS) play a significant role. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a smart HAS with incorporated intrusion detection to minimize damages caused by burglary. In addition, the proposed HAS integrates a web server to home appliances in order to remotely access and control their status. Intrusion detection, on the other hand, uses Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) feature descriptors and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for accurate human detection by smartly rejecting false alarms arising from pets. This system comprised of a simple architecture and requires no human intervention. It allows for prompt accessibility, efficient usage of electricity and provides user convenience.

I. Introduction

The important goals of home automation are to provide convenience to the user and efficient use of electricity. Putting rapid growth of internet technology into use enables us to check the status of our houses and remotely control various household appliances such as the air conditioner, heater, motors, lights etc. With the help of this technology users can readily determine the state of the home appliances and control them from a distance i.e. power failure, turning off/on the stove and controlling the timing for lawn sprinklers (increased convenience). Moreover, the user can also maintain temperature set points at home while they are located far away spatially (increased energy efficiency).
