Advanced tech for cruise ship safety, rapid detection, and crew alerts in critical situations.

To get Man Overboard up and running, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository on each swarm device.
2. Install the required libraries using pip install -r libraries.txt.
3. Configure the settings in the .env file for each device.
4. Run the swarm component using python3 swarm_main.py.

1. Clone this repository on the crew's machine.
2. Install the required libraries using pip install -r libraries.txt.
3. Configure the settings in the .env file.
4. Run the control center component using python3 controlCenter.py.

Now, you can effectively monitor the ship's surroundings in real-time and receive alerts from the swarm!

Man Overboard was inspired by the need to address overboard incidents on cruise ships, a risk to human lives that demanded a swift and effective response. The project aims to ensure passenger and crew safety at sea by providing real-time alerts.

Man Overboard continuously monitors the ship's surroundings using computer vision. It detects and tracks potential overboard situations and instantly alerts the ship's crew through real-time communication. The system is versatile and adaptable for various security and safety scenarios.

During development, obtaining a live video feed from the swarm of devices and relaying it to the ship's crew in real-time proved to be a significant challenge. Due to time constraints, this challenge couldn't be fully addressed as comprehensively as desired. Future development will focus on enhancing real-time monitoring capabilities.

• A highly effective overboard detection system.
• A scalable architecture for coordinated swarm configurations.
• A versatile system adaptable for various security and safety applications.

The development of Man Overboard expanded our knowledge in computer vision, real-time communication, and secure configuration management. The project emphasized the importance of adaptability and scalability in safety systems.

The next order of business for Man Overboard is to enable remote live video feed to the crew from the swarm, improving real-time monitoring capabilities. Future plans include:

• OpenCV: Real-time image and video processing.
• RabbitMQ: Real-time message queuing for crew alerts.
• dotenv: Secure configuration management.
• Python: The primary programming language for system development.
• ZeroTier: Network virtualization for secure communication.
