VCET Hackathon 2021

Source code for the solution made at VCET Hackathon 2021. Came as the runner ups out of over 32 teams.

Directory structure:

|
|--admin
|--backend
|--IoT
|--image processing model
|--rainfall predictror

Admin:

• An all-in-one system that provides insights such as Temperature, Precipitation, etc. for the metropolitan cities of India.
• Can issue alerts for citizens, where if they fall in the certain radius, they are notified on SMS and WhatsApp messages
• Can present detailed Satellite images for the affected areas where they can be downloaded for further detailed image-processing

Backend:

• Contains the entire backend code.

IoT:

• An IoT-based flood prevention system that checks the water levels of the dam.
• If they exceed beyond the threshold, the administration is notified, and the system can take actions by itself on extreme circumstances.

Image predictor model:

• Compares the before and after affected model.
• Gives the result in the form of white highlighted pixels showing the affected area.

Rainfall Predictor:

• Analyses the rainfall data and predicts if the average rainfall per year can cause flooding or not.
• Provides a yet other data source to detect the early occurrence of floods.

Techonolgies used:

IoT-based Dam flooding prevention system:

• Arduino IDE (ESP8266),
• ThingSpeak by MathWorks (IoT-cloud detection system)

Rainfall Predictor:

• Python
• Pandas, Scikit-learn

Admin Frontend:

• React, Bootstrap

Backend:

• Node, Express.js, MongoDB

Image Processing Model:

• Python
• OpenCV (Computer Vision)

Hosting:

• Web app and Backend: Heroku
• Database: MongoDB Atlas

Miscellaneous APIs:

• MapBox (to retrieve high-res satellite images)
• WeatherAPI (to retrieve climatic attributes for cities like temperature, pressure, etc.)
• PositionStack (to retrieve coordinates from Keywords)
• Twilio (to broadcast WhatsApp and SMS messages)

Team Members:

Aniket Shah, Shlok Shah, and Himanshu Bhalala.
