REST API based image processing interactive person tracking application

Abstract

In today's conditions, parents have to work for home economics. For this reason, it is not always possible for parents to meet their children's needs, to protect them from dangers and to help them. Parents agree with a fee-paying caregiver to ensure that their children's needs are provided. Looking after a child by a caregiver can create a variety of security problems for the mother and the father. In addition, because of the child's development levels, there is always the possibility of encountering an extreme situation everywhere. This project has been developed for observing Alzheimer's patients as well as children. Alzheimer's disease is a disorder of phases. The individual with this disorder is in need of care after a certain level. For this reason, observation of the individuals with this disease and their caregivers is also important for safety. In this completed project, Raspberry Pi microcomputer has been used. A camera has been placed on the chest line. An image is taken every 5 minutes by the camera. This image is transferred to the REST API based web service. In addition, facial analysis has been performed on the photographs using image processing techniques. The faces found have been stored in a separate directory on the REST API based web service. The SIM808 GSM / GPS module has been used to enable the system to be active everywhere. Family members can follow the images transferred by the module with the help of the user panel in the web service.
