An Automated Approach to Prevent Suicide in Metro Stations

摘要

Every year, we find a lot of people committing suicide in metro. To avoid such incidents, we have designed a system that would take the captured video of preinstalled CCTV cameras in metro stations and analyze them. On breaking down the captured video into frames, the region of interest for each will be calculated and their histogram found. Processing the histogram values, if danger is detected then an alert message will be fired. In future with this triggering of the message a physical barrier, installed beforehand at the edge of the platform, will come up thereby preventing the victim from making the suicide attempt, saving his/her life and hours of harassment for others.
