Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

Now that home security systems are readily available at a low cost, these systems are commonly being installed to watch over homes and loved ones. These systems are fairly easy to install and can provide 4k Ultra HD resolution. The user can configure the sensitivity and areas to monitor and receive object detection notifications. Unfortunately, once the customer starts to use the system, they often find that the notifications are overwhelming and soon turn them off. After hearing the same experience from multiple friends and family I thought it would be a good topic for my thesis. I examined a top selling security system sold at a bulk retail store and have implemented improved detection techniques that advance object detection and reduce false notifications. The additional algorithms will support the processing of both near real-time streams and saved video file processing, which existing security systems do not include.
