Automated rat and cockroach repellant using haar cascode algorithm

Abstract:

Electronic pest repellant has a variation of emitted frequency just to repel a certain kind of pest. According to studies each pest has its own unique range of frequency that has the ability to repel them. Cockroach and Rats are one of the common pests that can be seen inside our home. These pests are carriers of different kinds of bacteria which could spread in our home and cause sickness. In this paper the researchers propose a device that uses image detection and will emit a certain frequency that can eventually repel the pest. For us to determine the specific frequency to be emitted, the range of frequency was gathered in the previous studies. This paper characterizes and verifies which frequency is the most effective. The device itself is a combination of a Raspberry Pi, Camera with night vision and speaker which emits ultrasonic frequency. The Raspberry Pi is programmed using Haar Cascade Algorithm to detect and classify pest for our device. The process of pest detection and device reaction is fast which effectively repels the pest.
