Real‐time force doors detection system using distributed sensors and neural networks

Abstract

Intelligent security systems have evolved enormously in the last few years. Most of these security systems use a group of physics sensors and algorithms for data analysis and communication systems to notify security alarms. Many security systems that are included in doors can detect intruders when they have already opened the door, but not while intruders are forcing upon the door. However, some security systems include preventive systems, which can detect intruders before they open the door. These preventive systems are usually based on video cameras (image processing) or in-presence sensors, which can generate many false positives, for instance, when a person is next to the door for a few seconds, even if this person is not manipulating the door. This research work proposes a novel force door detection system. The system includes a specific device for monitoring door small vibrations and movements; it analyzes these data using neural networks to detect accurately if someone is forcing upon the door. Artificial intelligence must be able to categorize data records without confusing when someone is forcing upon the door with other actions, like knocking on the door.
