An Efficient and Smart Animal Repulsion Technology using Laser Sensors and Acoustic Signals

Abstract

Economic growth of a region mainly depends on the employment and wellness of the inhabitants in that area. Mostly in regional or rural areas in India, humans depend mostly on agriculture and livestock farming as it requires large areas of land. Nowadays humans in these areas are facing many issues among which the protection of their lives, ruminants’ lives, and crops from wild animals are critical. The destruction of cultivates and livestock lead to financial and social concerns among farmers. Therefore, to provide an efficient and cost- effective solution to these forager attacks near forest range areas an efficient and smart system is developed. This device forms an integrated complex to scare away animals by sensing their presence through motion detection utilizing a Laser which activates the cameras. Animal identification is carried out by image processing using artificial intelligence on the basis of the acquired features from the image. Further, based on animal identification, pre-recorded acoustic signals are generated to repel them safely. An alert message is automatically sent to the respective government authorities for future investigation. This system is safe in all aspects as it does not involve any harmful radiation and does not affect the lives of animals or humans.
