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

We have a new and updated guide for this video over here:    • YOLO Object and Animal Recognition on...  

Article with All Steps - https://core-electronics.com.au/tutor...
Actively search and classify all kinds of household objects and common animals with a palm sized single board computer. Then use specific object detection to control GPIO pins.

Make sure to use the Previous Raspberry Pi 'Buster' OS with this Guide.

Have you ever wanted to get your Raspberry Pi 4 Model B to actively search and identify common household objects and commonplace animals? Then you have found the right place. I'll show you exactly how to do this so you can set up a similar system in your own Maker-verse. Furthermore, I will demonstrate how you can refine the identification so it searches only for particular desired targets. Then we’ll take this to the next step and demonstrate how you can alter the code to make the Raspberry Pi control physical hardware when it identifies that particular target. This guide is going to blend machine learning and open-source software together with the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. One of the open-source software used here is Open-CV which is a huge resource that helps solve real-time computer vision and image processing problems. This will be a second foray into Open-CV landscape with Raspberry Pi and Facial Recognition being the first. We will also utilise an already trained library of objects and animals from the Coco Library. The Coco (Common Object in Context) Library is large-scale object detection, segmentation, and captioning dataset. This trained library is how the Raspberry Pi will know what certain objects and animals generally look like. You can also find pre-trained libraries for all manner of objects, creatures, sounds, and animals so if this particular library here does not suit your needs you can find many others freely accessible online. The library used here will enable our Raspberry Pi will be able to identify 91 unique objects/animals and provide a constantly updating confidence rating. Machine learning has never been more accessible and this video will demonstrate this.
