Safety protection using artificial intelligence internet of things for preschool education

Abstract

With the rapid development of social economy and information technology, safety protection in daily life has become more and more important. Although the awareness of safety has increased, the children's safety is still not paid enough attention. Children still may suffer accidental injuries, especially in developing countries. Children spend most of time at school in a day. Thus, it has become an emergent challenge to guarantee children's safety at school. In order handle this issue, this paper designs an Artificial Intelligence Internet of Things (AIoT) safety protection system for preschool education. The AIoT safety protection system consists of three parts: camera, Raspberry Pi, and monitoring computer. The camera captures the images of classroom scene during preschool education. The Raspberry Pi analyzes the images from camera to determine the unsafe behaviors of children, in which a YOLOv8 model is deployed. The monitoring computer receives the alarms from Raspberry Pi. The camera, Raspberry Pi, and monitoring computer are connected using wireless sensor network. The experiments show the behavior recognition model can correctly identify most of dangerous behaviors of children in classroom. The simulation result demonstrates the AIoT safety protection system can find the dangerous behaviors in time.
