This article mainly introduces the intelligent lifebuoy based on machine vision. The design uses the OpenMv camera to identify the drowning person. OpenMV sends the collected position information of the person to the MCU. If the drowning person is on the left or right side of the lifebuoy, the MCU controls the motor drive module. Control the differential rotation of the motor behind the lifebuoy so that the lifebuoy is facing the drowning person. If the drowning person is directly in front of the lifebuoy, the MCU controls the motor drive module to control the rotation of the motor behind the lifebuoy to make the lifebuoy gradually approach the drowning person, which can save life. Blue balloons was used instead of drowning people to conduct rescue experiments on the lake. The smart lifebuoy successfully recognized the blue balloon and swam near the blue balloon. Furthermore, a perfect solution is proposed for the shortcomings of the intelligent lifebuoy.
