Smart Stick to Detect wildlife Animals for Trekkers Using Raspberry Pi

Project Code :TEMBMA3788

Objective

The objective is to develop a portable Raspberry Pi–based smart stick that detects nearby wildlife and provides real-time alerts to ensure trekkers’ safety during outdoor activities.

Abstract

This project presents a Smart Stick designed to enhance the safety of trekkers by detecting the presence of wildlife animals using a Raspberry Pi-based system. Equipped with an ultrasonic sensor and a USB webcam, the stick detects nearby animals through distance measurement and visual recognition. Upon detection, the system alerts the user with audio signals via a 3.5mm mini speaker and buzzer, while displaying relevant information on an LCD screen for real-time awareness. Powered by a 12V adapter and supported by a memory card for data storage, this portable and user-friendly device aims to prevent unexpected encounters with wild animals, improving the trekking experience in forested or wildlife-prone areas. The integration of these components into a single smart stick offers an effective tool for trekkers to navigate safely in natural environments.
