CurrentBHARATI: Beach Hazard Assessment and Rip Avoidance Tracking InstrumentI developed BHARATI, a cutting-edge beach safety device designed to detect rip currents and at-risk individuals using deep learning. Leveraging the power of YOLO (You Only Look Once) object detection, BHARATI can identify both rip currents and humans in real-time. When a person is detected in a rip current, the system triggers an immediate alarm, helping to alert lifeguards or beach authorities. The device is built on a Raspberry Pi platform, paired with the Hailo 8L AI accelerator and a 16mm lens HQ camera for precise detection. BHARATI represents a significant step forward in beach safety, using AI to protect lives at the shore.
