Object Identification & Animal Recognition With Raspberry Pi + OpenCV + Python

[@Core-Electronics]

Hey everyone! We have a new updated version of this guide that uses a more advanced model and runs a bit smoother. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnysnpKIlNd8m7M Please note that we are keeping this old guide up for legacy reasons and that it requires the older Buster OS (the new one is running on the new Bookworm OS).

[@mike0rr]

This was the fastest, cleanest comprehensive guide I have found on OpenCV for Pi. Only thing that would make this better would be an Install script, but even then I think its good for some manual work to be left anyways. Get peoples hands dirty and force them to explore and learn more. So cool to have the power of machine learning and Computer Vision in our hands to explore and experiment with. What a time to be alive!

[@Core-Electronics]

Very glad you have your system all up and running 🙂 and I absolutely agree. Something about a machine learned system that runs on a palm-sized computer that you have put together yourself really feels like magic ✨✨

[@stevenhillman6376]

Excellent. I came to this after seeing the facial recognition video as it would help with a project I have in mind. However, after seeing this and how easy it is to set up and use my project will be more ambitious. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[@charlesblithfield6182]

Thanks for this. I want to use my pi to do custom recognition of trees from their bark in a portable field unit. I already tried an tensorflow lite and off the shelf database to do common object recognition. If I had a small need to recognize say 50 trees, how many labelled images do I need of each tree for the training data?

[@Core-Electronics]

Hi Charles, some Australian scientists concluded in a 2020 paper “How many images do I need?” (Saleh Shahinfar, et al) that the minimum number of data points for a class should be in the 150 - 500 range. So if you had 50 species of trees to identify from you'd need roughly between 7,500 - 25,000 images/data points.

[@Core-Electronics]

We have an updated guide over here for object recognition: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnysnpKIlNd8m7M And you may have some difficulties with that. As far as I know, you can't simply plug that into the Pi. But if you can find a way to get images or video from it to the Pi, then you can process those. So if you can find a way to do that it may be possible. Unfortunately in our guides we only cover how to process a camera plugged directly into the Pi.

Inside the code look for the section | if (draw): | Then below that the line | cv2.rectangle(img,box,color=(0,255,0),thickness=2) | By altering the (0,255,0) numbers you can change the colour of the box.

Can you add a guide to make it simpler for me? Would love to see it.

Thank you man! This was really helpful.

Your website, products and educational resources are amazing. I was wondering if you had any advice as to how to further train the machine to identify less common objects? I was hoping to use it for a drone video feed and train it to identify people, for basic search and rescue functions. I am a volunteer in my local community, hence my specific question :-)

Would this work to detect pigeons out of the box or would it need training?

I believe the model we used for this tutorial is capable of identifying birds, I'm unsure if this it is trained specifically to differentiate between pigeons and other birds though. A custom CV model better suited to bird identification would be more reliable.
