Abstract
Despite the use of military task forces and some old detection systems along oil pipelines, sabotage is on the rise, especially in developing countries. This has led to various socio-economic losses and damage to the ecosystem via oil spills. To solve this problem, the research study generated low-cost surveillance networked nodes for oil pipelines theft via real-time monitoring and reporting. The prototype was simulated along the Lagos-Ilorin pipeline (259km) divided into nodes (26m apart interfaced to a central webserver) based on field view computation of the prototype device (resolution 4618 × 3465 pixels). The model software was developed using a web application, tunneling server, and mobile app. The mobile app at each node sends detected faces using feature detection and tracking via Constrained Local Models Algorithm (CLMA), each image having a unique I.D and location, which will be forwarded to a surveillance email. These images were transmitted immediately (1-2 seconds) and uploaded on the webserver. An email of this report was generated and forwarded to the admin indicating human activity on the pipeline infrastructure. The prototype was evaluated using the manual software non-functional Black Box Testing having a response time of 90%, 80% stability, and 90% reliability.
