Facial recognition seemed to be a bit daunting to me. OpenCV Facial Recognition Tutorial and OpenCV Facial Recognition in Video. The process seemed very convoluted and time consuming. First you had to get the training images, put in a directory, create... Continue Reading →
So what is this. Well partly an update on my previous project Multi Processing OpenCV Home Surveillance System but also a lot more. It is a mix and match environment of classes that can be combined to do lots of different image tasks each working in its own process. Ideal for rapid prototyping etc. Read More ...
Some of you may remember in my original review of the AIY voice kit, that I mentioned the fact that the ladybox needed to be activated by either a button press or by clapping. I commented at the time that someone was soon going to come up with a voice or hotword activation trigger fairly soon. Read more ...
Having an old webcam hanging about and a pizero (in a customized matchbox case) available (a MagPi freebee) I decided to try my hand at Motion Detection. Looking at some of the stuff around, I was introduced to Pyimagesearch Search a site which is excellent for anything to do with OpenCV. A lot of the ideas for my system came from here. Also very worthy of praise is Derek Simkowiak work on tracking gerbils. Read more ...
This is a bit of a fun project I've done in recent weeks. Actually adding machine learning for the AIY Voice kit. Most of the ideas I got from Python Programming with Deep Learning. Read more

But to be honest I wasn't expecting what came in the issue before last which was a whole voice kit consisting of the voice hat, speaker, microphone, arcade type button, cables and of course the cardboard box. Plus a ready made sd image. Read more ...
My first idea was to get Mia Robocat to be able to turn lights on and off, turn appliances like television on as well as change channels. So I bought the following 433MHz rf receiver and transmitter which are very cheap (about £2). Read more ...
