TARGET TRACKING SYSTEM USING ULTRASONIC SENSORS

The project titled 'Target Tracking System using Ultrasonic Sensors' is based
on improving the security system in Malaysia. Statistic by Polis Diraja Malaysia
(Royal Malaysian Police) shown that compared to the year 2006, the crime is
increases by 13.4 percent in 2007. Thus, this project focuses on expanding the
application of ultrasonic technology into closed circuit televisions (CCIV) which has
been widely use in many other sectors but never been applied in security system in
Malaysia. The outcome of this project is a working prototype of a target tracking
system using ultrasonic sensor which can detect and track a moving object within the
radius of 3 meters. This project uses one transmitter and two receivers bound on both
side of the transmitter. On top of the transmitter and receivers is the camera to capture
image of the moving object. The method used in tracking the moving object is by
comparing the voltage of both receivers and controlled by the PIC used in this project
which is the PIC l6F877. The working prototype has been successfully completed and
it is very important in fighting crime if it is installed accordingly.
