Design and Implementation of Model Autonomous Sentry Gun Using Image Processing and Motion Tracking

Abstract

Development of Auto Tracking Technology and Image Processing is very broad. One of them in the field that utilizes Autonomous Tracking technology is the military field. Autonomous Tracking technology is used by weaponry machines so that it becomes more accurate and efficient when compared to humans. Autonomous Sentry Gun is a tool that can shoot automatically by knowing the coordinates of the target. In the research entitled Design of Sentry Gun Model using Image Processing and Motion Tracking, tracking tests were carried out on the target given different colors and the target area varied by distance for each test. In the first test RGB color tracking was carried out with the target area varied and the result was the color that had the farthest distance was red with a distance of 223 cm with an area of 54 cm2. In the second test of RGB color tracking with the same area, the color results obtained with the farthest tracking distance is yellow with a distance of 430 cm with an area of 415 cm2. Meanwhile, the minimum tracking distance was found at purple which is 340 cm with an area of 415 cm2. The results of the experiments showed that Sentry Gun was working in accordance with the specified specifications which can distinguish the target color so that the tracking distance of each color was different.
