The need for elephant intrusion and detection using image processing using two Arduino boards, LoRa transmitter and receiver, LCD display, relay, battery, DC motor, buzzer, and LED arises from the increasing conflict between humans and elephants in regions where elephants roam freely. Elephants often raid crops and damage property, which can lead to significant economic losses for farmers and communities. To mitigate this conflict, there is a need for an early warning system that can detect elephant intrusions and alert farmers and communities in real-time. Image processing techniques can be used to detect elephants from images captured by a camera mounted on a pole . The system consists of two Arduino boards, one for image processing and one for controlling the actuators. The LoRa transmitter and receiver are used to wirelessly transmit data between the two boards. The LCD display is used to display status information and alerts to the user. If an elephant is detected, the system activates a DC motor to move a flag or a scarecrow, which can deter the elephant from entering the area. Additionally, a relay can be used to turn on a sprinkler system to further deter the elephant. A buzzer and LED can be used to provide an audible and visual alert to the user battery can be used to power the system, making it portable and suitable for use in remote areas. The system can also be solar-powered for sustainability. The system provides an early warning and deterrence system for elephant intrusions that can help prevent economic losses and human-elephant conflict. The use of image processing techniques and wireless communication technologies make the system efficient and effective.
