Hand Detection for Safety to Avoid Accidents

Detecting the hand when it crosses the safety level and in return it also raises an alert in the form of alarm. So that the threat can be identified and proper measures are taken to overcome that. The methodology of the project goes as follows, taking input from camera , Image processing to detect hand, Projecting a line using computer vision, Raising alarm when hand crosses this projected safety line. The real time data is taken from the camera as an input to the Image processing algorithm. Then this input is processed to find the hand in image in it and checks whether the hand is crossing that safety line. If that hand is crossing the safety line we can simply raise alarm. The applications of the project are to the Employees who are working at industry are pushing the material into shredder machine. But somehow while pushing these material into shredder machine the employees are pushing their hands itself in the flow of work and the hands of employees were cut in that cause. So from a certain distance from shredder machine input we project a imaginary line using computer vision, So that if any hand crossing that imaginary line which is for safety we will raise an alarm. In addition, we can also extend the applications, by just replacing hand with the Bike, we can detect the bike, which is crossing the staggered stop line, and we can punish or fine them. As a part of object detection we are using Single short multibox detector.
