Bird Detection Using OpenCV

Purpose

Keeping watch for birds — whether to monitor wildlife or to keep them off a field or facility — is a job that never stops and quickly wears out a human watcher. A research team set out to prove a camera could do it on its own, spotting birds in a live feed and flagging them the moment they appear.

Description

We built a small camera unit that scans its live feed and detects birds frame by frame, drawing a labeled box around each one it finds. The instant a bird appears, the device reports it to the cloud so other systems can react right away, and the project includes the field-collected photo set we gathered to train and validate the detector. It is a self-contained piece of real-time computer vision — the sort of problem we take on and ship.
