Cat Alert!
Sillicon Valley is featuring an extremely cool project about a smart intrusion detector; What The Cat Can't Drag In: High-Tech Door Keeps Dead Prey Out. Essentially, the door has a magnetic latch, which is locked when the cat has something in its mouth, or when something else comes along. I won't go into any more detail, because the author's site does that very well: see Quantum Picture. This is another really great application of computer vision and AI. The vision algorithm works by splitting the image in discernable features, and it appears that these have to be hand-selected. Still, the project works well, so it doesn't really matter! He seems to be getting a lot of good PR too ;) |
