Intrusion-Detection-System

About the Project

This intrusion detection application is designed to monitor live camera feeds for unauthorized access or trespassing. Utilizing C++ with OpenCV and NCNN for real-time image processing, and ImGui for a user-friendly interface, the application allows users to select specific areas of interest. If a person is detected within these areas, an alarm is triggered to alert users, enhancing security measures.

Warning

This application has been tested only on Windows so far but can be used for cross-platform development.

Motivation

The motivation behind this project stems from a growing concern about crime rates and the need for improved security measures. I believe that AI-driven computer vision systems can play a crucial role in monitoring homes and businesses, enabling quicker responses to security threats. By leveraging technology, we can create a safer environment for everyone.

Built with

• C++: Core programming language for performance and efficiency.
• OpenCV: Library for real-time computer vision.
• NCNN: High-performance neural network inference framework for mobile and edge devices.
• ImGui: Immediate mode GUI for creating intuitive user interfaces.
• CMake: Build system for managing project compilation.
