Image Processing Based Automatic Safety Net for Building

Abstract

High-rise apartments provide comfort and scenic views, but they also pose potential safety hazards for children. Even a moment of carelessness can lead to serious accidents when children access balconies or lean near railings. To prevent such incidents, an Automatic Safety Net System has been developed as a precautionary safety solution. The system uses ultrasonic sensors for continuous monitoring and a camera module by using Image processing for accurate identification of a child has entered the balcony area. Once a child is detected, the system activates a buzzer to alert nearby adults and automatically deploys a safety net, ensuring protection before any risky action occurs. The process is controlled by an STM32 micro-controller, with remote monitoring and manual control provided through an ESP32 and MIT App-based interface. This approach emphasizes preventive safety, offering a fast, automated, and reliable safeguard for children in high-rise homes.
