Abstract:
The project aims at easy control of remote defense equipment, which can be used for both military and entertainment purposes. Major part of the project is the understanding and classification of EEG signals. The user is provided with a commercial and easy to use EEG headset, using which he/she can issue different commands (via thoughts and facial expressions) to control a remotely positioned gun. A camera, mounted on the gun provides the user with a real-time view of the target area and the marker position. Targets are also tracked by image processing algorithms to enhance the accuracy and user-experience of the device.
The user targets an area by controlling a cursor on the camera feedback. The co-ordinates of the cursor on screen are mapped to real time co-ordinates for the gun and it is positioned accordingly. The gun system can be turned on/off, positioned in the two axes and triggered remotely.
