How AI Protects My Garden from Rabbits
Blog post from Roboflow
Samrat Sahoo's tutorial outlines the creation of a computer vision-based system to deter rabbits from a garden using a Raspberry Pi-powered device. The project involves collecting and annotating data on rabbits via Roboflow, preprocessing and augmenting this data to train an object detection model, and deploying the model on a Raspberry Pi for outdoor monitoring. Active learning is integrated into the system using Roboflow's Upload API to improve model accuracy over time. The setup includes configuring the Raspberry Pi for remote access, installing a camera for monitoring, and connecting a Bluetooth speaker to emit deterrent sounds when rabbits are detected. The system's effectiveness can be monitored through a web interface, providing a comprehensive solution to protect gardens from rabbit intrusions.
