A simple elephant detector, that can drive wild elephants away from farms and villages, protecting people and crops ultimately save wild elephants from human attacks..
The problem Maximus Saver solves
Difficulty in preventing entry of wild elephant from forest, to agricultural farm lands, which leading to farmers to hurt wild animals like wild elephants. Along with our technological advancements, we aim to protect crops from attacks of wild animals like elephants. We are on a mission that could save acres of crops, thereby improve the livelihood of our farmers along with ultimately presevering the wild life. Through this system, we can reduce human and elephant conflict.
We have a camera module to capture the images and we sent the images to a Raspberry Pi module, the module is programmed with our codes. Whenever an elephant comes nearby, it triggers an alarm, then the protection system gets activated. Generating ultrasonic waves makes the elephant go away. Saving life of humans and elephants.
Challenges we ran into
The main challenge was to detect wild elephants crossing zone/locality. Then we applied object detection to our project. we learned more object detection from the TensorFlow website and other tutorials help us to build the project easily.
