“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”— Ansel Adams

 

The theme this month is Photography  and it comes from .   His idea was to build any projects involving photos.  You could do projects involving stop action photography by combining timers and photography to create stop action photography video projects or any number of projects involving image processing and cameras.  You could do TinyML projects using OpenMV as covered in Build Powerful Wildlife & Livestock Trackers with OpenMV and Edge Impulse, a computer vision project involving AI such as the drone project in Arduino Day Workshop: NanoDrone II: AI and Computer Vision with LoRa (Win a PSoC6 and a Pair of MKR 1300 Boards!) ,  training a neural network such as in LDR Camera #10 : The Artificial Neural Network (SimonnV5) and LDR Camera #8 : Fully Working Camera , using advanced vision and frame manipulation for obstacle avoidance such as in BBAI Seein' Around Corners, Talkin', IoT Exploitin' Backup Car Cam with Onboard Vision AI ,  FPGA such as in SecuCam #2: Hardware Accelerated Motion Detection with the PYNQ-Z2, robotic automation such as Episode 489: Build An FPV Rover with Raspberry Pi , augmented reality such as ARBot #5 : The Final Working (after a fashion) System , and even a Lego Camera such as Episode 465: Lego Raspberry Pi HQ Camera.   There's a lot scope to these projects so share your project ideas below and help inspire one another to get as creative as possible!  If your project idea involves the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera then we'll send you a Raspberry Pi 4 B,  a Raspberry Pi HQ module, and a 12 MP lens to help you turn your idea into a reality.  We're giving away up to 5 Raspberry Pi HQ kits as a promotion.  You can still use whatever hardware you like but we'll pick a few project proposals to send kits to!

Your Chance to Win

 

Be Original
Stick to the Theme
  • You could come up with a clever name that make's your project memorable!
    • This project is your baby! Part of the fun of bringing something new into the world is coming up with a name.
  • Your project could introduce something new or that is not commercially available or affordable!
  • If you have an idea for a project that doesn't fit the current theme then submit your idea in the comments section of the monthly poll.
List the Steps
Submit Video Proof
  • Provide the steps you took to complete your project (text, video, or images).
    • This could be a step by step how-to-guide, vlog, schematics, coding, napkin drawings, voice narration, or whatever you think will be useful!
  • If it doesn't work that's fine, this is more about the journey than the end product.
  • A short video is all that is required but you can shoot as much video as you like.
  • You are encouraged to be creative and have as much fun as possible!

About Project14
Directions

Every month you'll have a new poll where you'll get to decide an upcoming project competition, based on your interests, that will take place a couple of months in advance. Themes are broad in scope so that everyone can participate regardless of skill set.

 

What are Monthly Themes?

  • Every month (around the 14th of each month) a new theme will be posted on Project14.
  • Submit your ideas (proposals) for your projects to get feedback from the rest of the community.
  • Submit a project entry in the Theme space once you start working on it.

 

What are Monthly Theme Polls?

  • Every month (around the 14th of each month) there is a project theme poll.
  • Vote on which project competition you want to see for the following upcoming theme.
    • The themes voted on during the previous poll decided the upcoming theme.
    • If you submit an idea for a theme that is not used then it can still be used in a future poll.
  • Themes comments and ideas from the comments section of the project theme poll.

Step 1: Log in or register on element14, it's easy and free.

Step 2: Post in the comments section below to begin a discussion on your idea. Videos, pictures and text are all welcomed forms of submission.

Step 3: Submit a blog post of your progress on your project by the end of the month.  You are free to submit as many blog entries as you like until the beginning of the next theme.

 

Be sure to include video proof of your project!

 

Visit:  Photography  or tag your project blog PhotographyCH

 

You have until July 14th End of Day to submit your completed project!

 

 


 

 

A jury consisting of your peers will judge project submissions!

  • Hello Everyone, For my entry I will be creating a VEHICLE-X : Real-Time Vehicle Detection, Tracking, Number Plate Detection, and Speed Estimation using Raspberry Pi HQ Camera project

     

    Real-Time Vehicle Detection, Tracking, Speed Estimation, and number plate detection.

     

    As we are going for a walk, escorting our kids to school, or going to our work in the morning, we’ve all experienced unsafe, fast-moving vehicles operated by inattentive drivers that nearly mow us down.

    We feel almost powerless. These drivers disregard speed limits, crosswalk areas, school zones, and “children at play” signs altogether. When there is a speed bump, they speed up almost as if they are trying to catch some air!

    So here comes the technology of camera in action.

    Hello Everyone, my name is Akshita Gupta and for my entry, I will be creating a VEHICLE-X project that will be a real-time vehicle detection, tracking, number plate detection as well as speed estimation.

     

    To build the VEHICLE-X, I will use the following components

    • Raspberry Pi 4
    • 7" touch display for a proper preview
    • Raspberry HQ Camera

     

    Implementation

    1. Pi HQ Camera will detect vehicles in video using a MobileNet SSD.
    2. Tracks the vehicles
    3. Estimates the speed along with the number plate of a vehicle and stores the evidence in the cloud.
    4. I will also configure the Raspberry pi with openVINO environment to improve the fps rate.

     

    Advantages-

    1. The smart system can help track people, vehicles traveling from Point A to Point B.
    2. The solution encompasses a mechanism by which law enforcement agencies can track if there is a deviation from a specific route, the speed of the vehicles can also be detected.
    3. This solution will ensure that vehicles do not cross a speed limit to minimize accidents with animals, who cross the road, especially during monsoon.
    1. For nighttime use, we may need infrared cameras and infrared lights and/or adjustments to our camera parameters.

    This is a small image of the solution which I have performed using a pre-recorded video and have used only Open Cv for it without a pi camera.

    I hope you all liked it

    Eagerly waiting to create this.....

  • in reply to akshitagupta15june

    i have tried out similar application on Raspi 4. with object detection + tracking, the speed will be very slow, slower than 1fps

  • in reply to weiwei2

    Have you used GPU? When I tried motion detection using my inbuilt camera it gave 32 fps. Hope so I will make it better.

  • in reply to akshitagupta15june

    you mean you use your PC or raspberry pi?

    with raspberry pi, even if it has a small gpu, you can't use it for object tracking + detection, i guess no library for non NVidia gpu
