Hi all !
First, I want to thank to Element14 for choosing this project (along many others) to be sponsored.
How many times did you heard a bird singing wand wandered what kind/type of bird was singing ?
My project will use Machine Learning (ML) to try to identify the bird that's it's singing .
Because there are a lot of birds (about 11.000 types of birds), I'll just concentrate on those in my living area.
Challenge
The main challenge will be gathering data. And by data I mean, their song or noise. That will be really complicated . And for the ML model to work well, it needs a lot of data.
I will be using Keras for the ML, but using or not Edge Impulse . Still deciding. Edge Impulse is a great "Framework" (don't know if I can call it that) and allows for great flexibility and supports the RP2040 microprocessor (aka Raspberry PI Pico).
The Project
I'll create a 3D printed case for the Raspberry PI Pico, with the Microphone, a button and a small display. Pressing the button, will start to listen the song for x seconds. After that, will display the photo of the bird it thinks it is.
It will be fun.
Wishing all a great project and I can't wait to read and see what kind of projects people will come up with !
