Abstract
The purpose of this project is to create a Smart Baby Detection System that prevents parents from leaving their children in their car. I was first inspired to do this project when I saw many news reports on babies being left in cars and dying, and from then on, I felt the need to prevent these tragedies from occurring. This prototype consists of a camera, a switch, a Raspberry Pi module, a battery pack, and a 2” display. This project is a continuation of my last year’s project, the Smart Baby Car seat. The previous prototype’s primary sensor was a pressure sensor and used Bluetooth to communicate with the parent’s mobile device. In this continuation, I will be utilizing a smart camera and a loud buzzer instead of the pressure sensor and the Bluetooth. This camera will be coded to recognize whether the baby is in the seat or not. The prototype was successful in passing all the expectations and ultimately could solve the problem.
