  3. Agenda : • Core Progeny • Project Objective • Project Modularization • The System • Overview • Architecture • Module 1 – Motion Detection & Human Activity Monitoring • Module 2 – The Decision Making Software Engine • Module 3 – Appliance Control Mechanism & Prototype Modeling • Project Status • Envisioning Ahead vSmart Demo

  4. Core Progeny • Computer Vision • The branch of applied computing that concerns modeling and developing artificial systems that attain information from images and thereby provide useful functionality and results. • Domotics • Study of specific automation requirements for homes and application of automation techniques for the comfort, convenience and security of the residents Development Platform : .NET 2.0 Framework(C#) Visual Studio 2005 MS SQL Server 2005

  5. Objective Prototyping an integrated system for the smart control of domestic electronic appliances in local environments, based on monitored user presence and activity; thereby achieving multidimensional user-convenience and using modern technology to endow a sustainable environment in our everyday lives. Applications : • User Convenience and Energy Saving • Offices (lunch hours, after-office timings, etc) • Houses (the ‘Digital Home’ concept)

  6. Modularization (and timeline) • Problem Statement • Ideation through innovative techniques/lateral thinking/ brain storming • Engineering solutions, and thereby outlining the very FYP definition, field & scope • Adopting a research based/experimental approach • System design • Motion detection and respective human activity monitoring • Prototype modeling • Serially interfaced appliance control mechanism • Decision taking software engine– a multi-threaded expert system • Optimization and deployment • Completion Jun Nov codename: imaGInation KIeve Dec Jan Mar Apr

  7. Local Environment • Module 1 • Human Activity Monitoring (Input) System Overview • CMOS Webcams • Module 2 • The Software Engine • (Processing) • Module 3 • Appliance Control (Output)

  18. Module 2 Decision taking software engine – an expert system • The brain of the system– responsible for the actual “monitoring” • Decides when to turn off what • Expert System : • Defining classes for rules • Having defined facts in a relational database • Using inference techniques to judge which rules, based on user activity, stand, and hence which devices are to be respectively switched off • Rules and Facts subject to changes and modifications based on user behavior • Overview : • Small scale expert system with a dynamically adjusting knowledge base
