Ship Intrusion Detection Using Accelerometer and Temperature Sensor

Abstract

The traditional methods of detecting ships entail the use of radars or satellites which are very expensive. Besides the high cost, satellite images are easily affected by cloud cover, and it is difficult to detect small boats or ships on the sea with marine radar due to the noise or clutter generated by the uneven sea surface. Hence we go for new system. In this proposed system, the ship intrusion is going to be detected by placing accelerometer sensor and temperature sensor at the sea surface. The waves which are generated by the ocean and intruder ships are analyzed by the accelerometer and the signal is processed by the controller. The controller will transmits the data from the sea-shore section to the monitoring section in wireless communication mode called Zigbee. It’s a communication medium which operates in the frequency range of 2.4GHZ. The accelerometer sensor will distinguish both the signals and sends an individual data to the controller. The accelerometer and temperature sensors status and also the ship status are displayed in LCD.
