"I started this project last year and I've made a few videos about the previous versions, but I'm back and with some pretty big updates," Ditria says of the project's evolution. "The device is still built around Raspberry Pi's so-called AI Camera, which uses the Sony IMX500 intelligent image sensor. This sensor integrates a camera and a small neural network accelerator into a single chip, letting you run a small neural network model directly on the camera itself to process images at up to 30 frames a second. I've been using this sort of edge-compute AI detection for some time now, primarily for autonomously detecting and identifying wildlife."
