Camera Based, line following & RC Control Car

This paper presents a camera-based line follower and RC control car, integrating computer vision and remote control functionalities. The system uses a camera to capture real-time video, which is processed by an on-board computing unit to detect and follow a predefined path, typically a black or white line on a contrasting surface. Image processing techniques, such as edge detection and color thresholding, are implemented to determine the car's movement. Additionally, the car can be manually controlled via a remote control (RC) interface, allowing the user to override autonomous navigation when necessary. The system employs a microcontroller or a single-board computer (such as Raspberry Pi) to process image data and control the motor drivers accordingly .In the event of a car accident or vandalism, dashboard cameras can provide video proof. A CCTV is typically installed for surveillance in areas that require monitoring, such as banks and hospitals or areas where security is required. Therefore, its coverage is limited.
