Project Description:
********************
Last year, I created a video on a car barrier control system, in which I used an ultrasonic sensor to control the car barrier/gate. This project is suitable for beginners. However, in reality, this project is not practical at all. This is because an ultrasonic sensor can only sense the presence of objects and measure their distance, but it cannot identify those objects. Therefore, if any object comes in front of the ultrasonic sensor, it would open the car barrier/gate, which is not ideal.

So, I thought, why not take it to a slightly advanced level? So, this time, I will be using the Arduino along with ESP32 Cam for wireless live video streaming, and for the image processing, I am going to use Python OpenCV Yolo V3. Now, the barrier/gate will only open for cars. It will not open for any other objects.

This project is entirely based on my previous video, where I explained the most basic things, such as:

How to perform wireless video streaming using the ESP32 Cam module?
How to install Python, OpenCV, and Yolo V3? and
How to detect and identify different objects?

In my studio, I detected and identified various objects, and not only did I identify and track birds and cats, but I also displayed alert messages on the screen. So, I have already explained all of these things, and I won't repeat them today. Today, I will only explain new things. Including,

Servo motor interfacing with Arduino and its programming.
How to detect and identify a car? And
How to send car barrier/gate opening and closing commands to Arduino from Python OpenCV Yolo V3.

So, without any further delay, let's get started!
