For those of you with programming experience, I have some questions, if you'd be so kind as to read them.
I want to work on a project where I train a camera to detect snakes in real time and track them while within the camera range. So, pretend I have a backyard here in AZ and I suspect there are snakes, but there are also other critters running around, so if general motion detection is recommended that wouldn't help.
I don't know anything about programming so before I consider investing time or money, I'd like to know if this is feasible/how it works.
- Is the the type Of project I can tackle using the online AI programming courses? My thoughts where of using youtube videos of snakes for this project.
- How difficult would a project like this be for someone with no programming experience. What language would be used?
- If I paid someone to create the basic program how much would do you think it would cost?
Thank you
let me know if this is a stupid idea. Thanks
You can use AWS to do this. Check out AWS Sagemaker and AWS Kinesis.
I think this is what I'm looking for but will t be feasible to learn to use these programs?
Just a quick brain dump:
I will leave it up to you if this is something that you really want to pursue.
Just want to point out that cameras can collect audio data as well, which would be more informative and require less data than purely relying on visual cues.
You should be too busy with therapy to be posting here, son.
how tf are you gonna detect snakes with audio? also audio data is hard to work with and requires a good bit of math if you want to train a model based on audio inputs.
If I don't have the capital now, I'll have the capital some day... I'm doubling down on this.
I was thinking if it's long and slithering its a snake. Then make sure it doesn't detect a hose because the hose wouldn't be slithering. I'd only be looking at the snake in my lawn. If I used something like infrared, I think I could. I think Sagemaker will work
How easy would it be to build an algo/ how much would it cost?
It all depends on who you hire. I have a team of absolute killers that does this type of work for my function but I pay them quite a bit to be good.
Download snek from internetz, train machine learning model on snek, run object detection preprocessing to output snek and objectz, run snek detector on output to detect snek.
Can be done, yes, but is this seriously worth his time?
(Also, I have no idea why I decided to go cacographic on you... Seemed funny at the time.)
User name checks out.
May be useful to look on inaturalist.org. Millions of pictures of snakes spotted in the wild on there
To be fair the best way to detect a snake wouldn't necessarily be through static image processing given that they are very difficult to distinguish from their environment but more like through motion detection.
I appreciate your thoughts but let's not do Level 1 thinking here:
Correct as noted above big fish are the end game, but I figured snake detection would work too and be something I could try out.
Basically my thought was if I can't capture a slithering snake from a picture. As t moves the snake slithers and its body oscillates side to side. The video angle would be static and Arial. I guess I don't need AI for this since this will always be constant. I just want to detect the moving image on a screen. Looks like Python with OpenCV or tensorflow might work.
Nah that’s bs. Use python skilearn and pandas with keras. Everything already done. At that point you just need to
1) find a database with the training data
2) upload the database with your images
Bro, studied, educated SWEs routinely fuck up tasks like this even with million-dollar budgets. What makes you think you can do this by yourself with no education, no money, and no incentive beyond "but I wanna know"?
Every SWE was once someone who didn't know how to code
You can probably train a support vector machine to analyze stills from the video capture and identify a pre-determined list of critters.
Why do you wanna spot snakes lol
This reminds me of the hot dog/not a hot dog episode of Silicon Valley with Jin Yang
